I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed whacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on UA-cam and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

What's your favorite vintage chainsaw?
I have one up in Cocagne NB but I'll have to check what it is.
I love the stihl 028 super. It was a tank of a saw.
i have Partners myself, love the video bty great job. I also had a Remington 754 look that one up, what a beast.
Stihl 041
I've got a Conta Lightening ⚡⚡, a Partner R-16 I restored and an old Solo 640. But my favourite would be some of the old P series Pioneers. Partner was a great saw co.
Videos like this with older equipment is very enjoyable to me. I hope I'm not the only one.
i really like to see "old things" getting back to life. I enjoyed it.
It nice to see someone bringing it back to life again after it sitting so long and preserving a bit of history
That Saw was.made back in the day when quality meant everything to the manufacturer of product s
i bought an old XL-1 Homelite chainsaw at auction a few years ago. From the early 70's. Light blue in color. Excellent shape. Just needed a few fixes. Replaced the fuel lines, fuel filter and the air filter. Started up right away. Since this was a collector's item I eventually sold it to a collector in the US. He was extremely happy with it.
I really enjoy watching old chainsaws, snowblowers, mowers, etc being revived. I seem to learn something from each video.
I noticed while you set points stamped into the casting close to point area it said points .015. Good video. Thanks
Good eye
I know you're only a young man, but back in the day we'd put a couple of drops of light oil on the felt pad for the points cam, not grease.
These old tools are still useful and should be brought back to life. A handy little saw for around the house.
I love these types of videos. More please. You're so good. I learn so much from you. And you are a great person too. Thanks, Don
Thanks buddy!
BACK WHEN SAWS WERE BUILT TO LAST 😁👍
i got a little collection of homelite saws that i use around the house...I like to see more of those videos.
You can't deny the tone these old saws make. Thanks for sharing!
I think this is also interesting saw being from the firearms manufacturer from years past...like where Husqvarna started!
Nice to see something that was built to last.😊
I happen to own an old Remington chainsaw that hasn’t run for about 40 years. This video has encouraged me to try to get that old thing started. Thanks a lot I really enjoyed the video!
Got one just like it. It's a powerhouse. I bought it in the late 1980's needing a lot of work, it was old and missing a lot of parts but I fixed it and have used it since (heavily at first but not often in last five years, only a couple of times a year). The fuel tank / bar oil tank gasket is huge, covering the whole side outline of the engine and very prone to leak. All serviceable if you can cut large complex gaskets. Neoprene .03" sheet works well. Crank seals used to be available from industrial seal suppliers, not sure now. The bar oil pump is very effective and will push out any sawdust when you operate it, you know the chain is getting oil, cause you feel it pumping. Love this saw. Mine now needs clutch shoes, but not sure if I can get some any more. Eatons sold these saws under the Viking brand, painted yellow- I have several Viking parts on mine. Just mentioning it in case you are looking for replacement bits that may not be branded as Remington. Nice to see your video! Cheers.
Sweet. We sold them Wright and McCulloch.
Used to shave with a Remington , but this would definitely leave a rash , great repair well done !😂😂😂
Great video! I really enjoy your videos down here in Missouri.
Those were the best saws ever made in my book. You can’t kill them. Great repair 👍🙏👍🙏
Awesome fix, nice to see that old girl breathing life again. Good job Don !!
Nice!!! A few of these resurrection videos would be pretty cool.
The once and forever king of small engines on The Internet. Thanks for this series Don, I love these granddad saws.
This video was nostalgic for me, one of my favourite Donny videos. How U had that lense zoom focused on them ol points was 🔥 fire, like a surgeon doing a tutorial. Perfect start to finish tutorial for any kid wanting to bring Pah's old saw back to life. Sure more could have been done like the fuel system, but!!...the core problem that prevented it running was diagnosed and resolved. Really nice u offered it up to a genuine collector! Amazing that saw is 60 years old!
Edit: also noticed it had 'chipper' chain too which is an old style of semi chisel.
Love the old ones! Dad had a McCullough. Very heavy machine! I'm using an old Sears which is a Husqvarna.😊
Just love it when they jump into life.. it's very satisfying.. finding things like coils can be difficult..
I'm not sure what I'm more impressed with; the design engineering that went into making this saw or your knowledge and experience in resurrecting this saw from the dead after 20+ years.
I was a little surprised you didn't check the gap on the original plug unless it wasn't important at that stage or maybe you checked it off camera(?) Same goes for the new plug.
Great video. I love these old machines.
My dad always talked about “back in the day” getting a free .22 gun when he bought a chainsaw. Not sure what brand of chainsaw it was but the 22 was a Remington. Great video, I'd watch more of the vintage small engine repairs.
Nice to see the old chain saw running
I've enjoyed watching you work on older equipment.
Kool. I cut my teeth on the old Homelite Super XL , XL 12 and the Super XL 925s. Worked in the logging industry my whole life, 42 years. And have run and worn out many 925s in those years. It even sounds like the old Super XLs. Love the video. Thanks for the memories.
Wow, I didn't realize Remington made chainsaws besides firearms. They have been making firearms for over 200 years. A very very old manufacturer!
Great video. I like watching the old and new repairs.
Just today a fellow brought me a 30+ year old Honda push mower to get running. Fresh gas and a carb clean was all it took
Quality is what mattered!
Cool. A lot of the time the older models are better built. Made to last. No emissions control. Less plastic.
Great vid,old equipment old school still the best👍
Husky 61. Bought it used in about 1982. Still cuts.
Great video . Back in my trade school days late 70s this was a set up on most equipment big and small. Cars we set up with a dwell meter back in the day. CDI and fuel injection were new tech around this time . Many old point set ups could be converted on some engines . Sounds great 👏👏👏
Hi Dony, you are simply a wizard. Yor way of doing your job is amazing and informative.
Awesome video Don what a great saw to have !
Great video. I love seeing this old stuff run, especially since it was so well cared for.
Chainsaw enthusiast wall hanger. Very enjoyable, thanks!!!😊❤
Great upload, thanks Dony. Lovely to see how great things were made a few decades back. Such a shame that home grown products like that can't be competitive in today's world. Congrats on getting it going, made it even sweeter.
Awesome content, I love to watch these old machines being revived. You are a true master mechanic.
It’s a live! How cool is that. Good job!
Nice job Donny good content good teaching good job. Love seeing that stuff.
I really enjoy these restoration vids, part of our heritage, especialy with someone knowledgeabe on them, good job
Sweet saw ! Yes more
Great job Dony Always nice to see a master at work.
Oh, that was great! And the saw was made in Canada!!! So good to see Donny work on this. I myself enjoy working on old equipment, and this made me smile. Nice job, Donny!!!!
Great work . Lovely to see the old saw back working . More please ❤
I definitely do not miss the days of point ignition systems!!! Thanks for your great vids.
I work on 60-70 yr old cars so this was right up my alley and lots of fun, thanks
I love seeing old saws come back to life I work on them as well
I would love to have it thanks again for a old school saw
Might pop that cover off and re-gap the points...if you look above the point box the casting says set points at .015", you're not terrible going to .020" but it will definitely work the electrons harder. I also think bringing the multimeter out and seeing where things are not finding good connection is 80% of all saw problems...a life of oil, wood chips, and vibration! Just noticed you were also fighting the mixture adjustment on the bench cause the choke was a bit closed...I did that just the other day on a old homelite myself, butterflies gotta be wide open to get WOT!
For those that missed it, look at 15:20 right above the condenser.
The condersor should also be checked for adequate and proper voltage absorption.
Don, a pro like you donating your video time for all us Internet Dweebs is most appreciated. Heartfelt thanks...this is one of the best parts of the digital life.
Fun recovery! It's always satisfying to bring an old engine back from the dead.
Never used these old style saws but IMO it is hard to remind and knowing WHEN you have to manually oil the bar to not burning chain 😮
Really love to see these old saws coming back to life. Thank you
Salut Dony, Love the longer format of uncut video to bring old equipment back to life. I have a collection of older saws you might be interested in doing some videos on them. Based on some of your snowblowing videos, I don't think I'm too far from you. I'll send you an email. Cheers!
Ah yes, the dreaded points and condensor...haven't seen much with those anymore. Might even have some old ones in an old tool box I inherited. lol
Cheers from NB
Great video nice to see it running so well take care
Looks just like a Homelite XL 12 and sounds like one I have some old super 70 and super 80 McCullochs love those saw can’t find parts anymore
I like seeing the old stuff!
Love to see the old saws come back to life
I love to see old stuff brought back to life!
What a great old saw!another great video as usual. Thanks.
Seems to be a bunch easier to work on that the newer designs.
Adjusting those points, takes me back to working on my 1953 Hudson, flat head 6 cyl. My first car. Keep working on the old stuff.
You got that old thing running good.
I have an older homelite xl. It's blue and looks exactly the same. The old saw still works like it was brand new
Love seeing old saws brought back to life. I brought my uncle's homelite super xl 925 back to life after it sat for almost 16 years. Great saw but heavy
Back in the mid 1980. My first time working on small engines. I found an old Lombard chainsaw. Bought it for $ 10 and had to put a cab kit in it. The can kit cost $20. But I go it running.
@@clickonprofile6233 what do you want to know. And how do I know this is chick and not a spam
Thanks for the memories, started working in them with my father and my uncle.
Being born in 1955, coming up, I worked on my Mother's cars. They all had points and a condenser. I learned how to work on the points and adjust the timing at a young age. What a blast from the past, piece of nostalgia. Nice one, Don! 👍👍 Later in life, I built my own timing light from a schematic and parts list in Popular Mechanics, or something like that. I still have a points file. I don't use it for points anymore, but it comes in handy for all kinds of things. I didn't know about using 320 and 400 grit paper on the points back then, though, but the procedure always worked and lasted a good while.
I love vintage machines of any kind! That one needs a good home now that you have it running. It would look good in a display of other vintage stuff like outboard motors, fishing lures, hunting rifles, etc. I think that was a cool video, Dony!
Very nice vintage saw.
Very satisfying to revive these older machines, slightly concerned about oil mix ratio.
Very nice job Don.
The aluminum handle is a priceless dinosaur.
I, too, enjoy seeing old ones brought back to life. My grandfather ran Homelites like that. Makes me want to look for one and attempt to get it running like you did. Thank you.
Love the old stuff.
Thank you for the great video.
I've never seen a chainsaw with points in it before. I learned something new today.
I'd like to see more repairs like this in the future.
Giving that old beast a second wind fantastic job
That bar tip is a roller nose and does turn . They had a special grease gun supplied with the saw to lube it . Carb diaphragms and you have a pretty good saw ...
The old Homelites ran on a mixture of 16:1. Cutting timber in a laurel patch ( Rhododendron) the fumes were so thick it would choke you. Lol
I have the original owner's manual for this PL-4 saw, and it says 16:1 mixture, but of course modern oils are better now than way back when, so, could probably get away with 32:1 or maybe even 40:1.
@zing2002 I agree . 40:1 should be fine as long as the saw is adjusted for it. It was common practice with the Super XL 925s to, on occasion take the muffler off ,run the piston up, and scrap the carbon out of the exhaust port.
Thanks for making myself feel older. Because I remember when Remington saws came out. I got a Homelite XK in my garage hate to get rid of it because it was a good saw.
Hi Dony! Thanks so much for sharing. This saw does indeed remind me of the Homelite XL’s. My grandfather bought one in 1973. I’m not sure what happened to it, but I found another one on eBay a few years back in fond remembrance of him.
I think it’s really cool that you did it. I know chainsaws don’t bring in much money for repairs but I do love fixing stuff
It must be a nice change of pace to work on an heirloom saw and see how far technology has come.
That was really cool to watch. If you're bored at the shop I have a snowblower that youre welcome to do a service/look over on 😂😂
Hey Dony. I’m a sucker for Will it Run videos. Yes, more please.
Nice to see old equipment working again. Don’t see it anymore
Nice job. I do like these resurrection’s.
good job don. that is a nice old saw
Hi Don The old chain saw i worked on was a 1971 sthil 031av saw. it sat in a shed in tn . and when i was there last summer i brought it home and works like a new one
Really enjoyed this video more of the old if poss
Your amazing talent at restoring and fixing small engine equipment is simply phenomenal Dony. Thank you for sharing all your UA-cam video repairs with all of us. You certainly bring a lot of joy to us when we see a new video. Ray 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man, this was a neat video Don, alot of fun to watch. As always thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Had a Remington pl7a years ago. A big saw, it was lost in a flood years ago. Those old Remingtons ran well and had good power . If you can find ignition parts, you'll be good to go. Crankshaft end seals may also be bad. Find some old Wright saws. Also had a Wright c70 at one time, but regrettably sold it.
Vintage saws are a time capsule waiting appreciated quality and durability.these standards will never happen again
