My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

First time viewing you. YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF GIRL. WILL BE WATCHING AS MUCH AS I CAN

[@GaryT1952]

One of your best Bre...please do this again...I learned more about troubleshooting in 20 minutes than a mornings worth of searching . It's all about eliminating the simple solutions first..thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@martinkuliza]

OK CONCEPT 2 - CONCEPTIALLY UNDERSTANDING HOW THE MACHINE WORKS When you learn, You learn from MACRO (Most general level ) to micro (Most specific level) Once you understand the concept of How to solve any problem You now pick an industry or situation in which to specifically apply those solutions. In this case SMALL ENGINE REPAIRS it's beneficial to know 1. How a combustion Engine Works 2. Pick a Machine that you like, whipper, blower, Hedger, lawnmower .. whatever... LEARN HOW IT WORKS Fundamentally.... these small engines are JUST ENGINES with a spinning drive line. and you can then (Theoretically) Attach what you want on the spinning drive line to have some functional work done The next step is to pick 1 Model - Download the Manual - RTFM (Read the Fucking manual) and absorb it (it was written for a reason) - if there is a SERVICE MANUAL.. Definitely download that - Obtain and Exploded diagram of the machine and see how everything connects - Obtain a complete parts list and learn what every part is responsible for doing. IN THE CASE OF A WHIPPER SNIPPER Here is what i would advise you to learn in this order..... TRY TO THINK LIKE AN ENGINEER HERE, OK (lets get a little technical ) 1. HOW DOES IT START it starts from the CONVERSION OF MANUAL MECHANICAL ENERGY (From your body, Your arm pulling on the starter cord) TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY. The purpose being.... Your Mechanical Energy (GENERATED BY THE FOOD THAT YOU EAT AND WATER THAT YOU DRINK.............SEE WHY THAT WAS IMPORTANT ??) Transfers into the Mechanical Mechanism (Which has an element of Leverage to it) that is supposed to Jump Start the engine 2. WHEN DOES IT IGNITE (Jump Start) and continue on it's own. This where learning how a combustion engine works, is helpful in troubleshooting. Learn about the necessary Mixture of Fuel, Air and a Spark. Learn about the magnet that sends the electricity to the spark plug and How Alternating current works and how electrical induction works, (this will help you understand the magneto and the coil) 2. WHAT KEEPS IT WORKING AND WHAT MAKES IT DIE OUT Again, learn how a combustion engine works and understand that after starting, Situations may change 3. CAN IT BREATH Without Air, the mixture becomes unbalanced and there is no explosion to turn the piston. this is the part where you question Air, Filter, Fuel Filter, Exhaust Filter, Any other filter, Understand what each of the filters filter. 4. Understand the importance of conductivity or lack of it and Removal of rust . Learn how to use an Angle Grinder with Wire brush to remove rust. 5. Understand the importance of Lubrication and where it is not helpful 6. UNDERSTAND... CLEAN IS BETTER so it's not about eliminating smallest problems first.. IT'S ABOUT FOLLOWING A LOGICAL WALK THROUGH OF HOW THE THINGS RUNS SO LIKE THIS... - Visual Examination first - Smell Examination - You know how to solve a problem - You've established the customer input and their priorites, it won't run... fix it. - Pull the chord. Does it start, How does it sound -- is it turning the crank shaft and in turn the clutch and in turn the head ? - Check simplest and quickest things first -- Does the primer bulb have fuel in it -- is the primer bulb broken or cracked -- Can you pump it and cause fuel to circulate through the Carburettor -- is the carburettor dirty -- check the Air filter for condition, is it clogged ,wet or clean -- check the fuel filter if possible -- check Exhaust filter if possible -- How much rust does the machine have on it - Next, Take out the spark plug, Examine it's condition -- Test the resistance on the spark plug is it RESISTIVE or NON RESISTIVE (Look at the manual) Resistive should have up to 10k Ohm Resistance Non Resistive should have less than 1 Ohm Resistance Using the wrong one will cause your motor to overheat or not start - Look into the cylinder, Pull the starter cord, does the piston go up and down. if No... you have a crank shaft issue if yes - Look at the clutch, does pulling the starter cord cause the clutch to spin (it should) - does pulling the start cord cause the head to spin (it shouldn't) if it does, Check the clutch and the drum / Bell Housing, Changes are one of them is rusted and or broken or really dirty SO BASICS..... does the drive line turn when starter cord is pulled does the spark plug fire off a spark is the carburretor feeding fuel into the engine correctly Are all the filters unclogged is the clutch and drum working correctly, Engaging and disengaging when they should. does the switch work, does the accelerator trigger work does the shaft spin does the head spin is there line in the head does it cut the grass Ultimately when you fix a problem IT SHOULD ACHIEVE THE GOAL FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED FOR so you see, it's not about eliminating smallest problems first IT'S ABOUT... FOLLOW THE PATH OF MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE as if you were a little person (Let's say , Ant Man) and you were walking through the steps of how it all works and inspecting it If you approach a problem like that, You will end up fixing it Because when you know HOW TO FIX ANY PROBLEM then you understand HOW A SPECIFIC MACHINE COMPLETELY WORKS You can then follow the path of operation of the machine to see where it stops working, You then identify the problem and fix the problem THAT'S MY ADVICE TO YOU Understand it Mechanically Understand it Electrically Understand it Fundamentally THEN UNDERSTAND THIS..... These things are Engineered to a price point, which is why ....... Most of them will work in a similar fashion to the others SOMETIMES THERE ARE JUST MINOR CHANGES THAT YOU NEED TO LEARN so there you go..... Move forward with that when you watch these videos YOUR'E WELCOME

[@inthedogghouse86]

There is something so therapeutic about watching things get fixed.

[@waynegroves6922]

I'm 70yo, and come from a long line of mechanics; I've built many V8 engines and manual transmissions, and even aced a college-level small-gas engine course some years ago; but this project had me a bit stumped. I had to dive into my Wizard rider that conked out on me late last year - it just suddenly lost power and began backfiring, and I barely made it back to the garage. Fast forward a year, and I decided to take a look at it. This rider has the B&S Intek 17.0 engine. Thinking it may be a timing issue or valve problem, I went online and stumbled across a fellow with the same problem with the same engine on a KZbin video, who found that it was actually a valve issue. Watching him take the valve cover off and describing what he encountered, a very loose rocker arm, and how he fixed it, convinced me to take a look. It took me three tries at adjusting the rocker clearances for both the exhaust and intake valves, because the exhaust valve just wouldn't take a lockdown and would just immediately come loose after pulling the feeler gage. Well, on the third attempt, I noticed that the rocker arm stand/riser was itself loose! I tightened it up, reset the clearance, buttoned it up . . . and it fired right up and ran just fine. I was really worried that it would be something worse, and I would have to take it to a repair shop. I've been repairing and maintaining my neighbor's Pony rider for the past few months, so it looks like I'll have to set myself up a small lawnmower repair shop soon, since I've been acquiring the necessary tools to take care of my own.

Hey Bre, thanks for the very helpful tips. I saw your video about picking up your lawn mower and maybe giving it a little jiggle to fix hard starting problem.

Mower body will be up in the air After a few seconds return mower to normal position. Mower will start right up, and you didn't have to lift it.

[@mitchelloates9406]

Had my own learning experience yesterday. Had to replace the fuel tank vent line on my 6 year old Troy-Bilt (aka Craftsman aka MTD) TB 30 R riding mower. Lesson One - I learned that I had to disassemble nearly half the mower, just to get to where the vent line attached to the top of the fuel tank. Lesson Two - I learned that grass clippings, dust, dirt, and pollen get EVERYWHERE in and on that beast. I had to spend more time with a bucket of water and a rag, cleaning off all the crud that had accumulated on the fuel tank and other hidden areas, and got baked into a hard film over the years, than actually replacing the vent line and reassembling the mower.

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Bre, Always enjoy your videos. I'm amazed how often the DIYer gets it wrong when only a picture on the smart phone can help to reassemble it correctly. You and the family stay safe.

[@markakamoses8591]

Bre I must thank you for opening my eyes to repair my own equipment. Also Was wondering what your opinion is of the Echo 56 volt battery operated trimmer? Just used one a friend bought to trim both properties I care for (total area 3 3/4 acres) seemed to do a great job even in 2 foot weeds on one properties area. After 3 hours of trimming.still had battery life available for use, which I thought was impressive. Other battery operated trimmers never last. Found myself wondering what you would think of it since you sell Echo equipment?

[@bertgrau3934]

Interesting video, when I get any small engine that customers say it won't start, 2 things I check, compression, and spark, if those are good, then the gas, and I will squirt some fresh gas or gas/oil mixture through carburetor. If it runs, then check the fuel system and carburetor. Great video, as usual 😊
