A long time ago.... I had traded a Quadrajet carb overhaul on a pickup in exchange for a Craftsman chainsaw. Hard pull at times ended up being the clutch gear where the chain rides was cast with one side flat! Next and just like your chainsaw it would run and stall. Many hours later I find that the side cover on the carb was never drilled out for the pulse to the diaphragm! Many hours of frustration but determination like you. I was a mechanic at a Chevy dealer and I believe age 17 at the time, now 64 and tons of diagnostics on everything from small engines to busses (26 years on the buses). Freshly retired and some lady just pulled in my drive while I was working on my P/U and asked-while seated in her golf cart- if I could work on her truck! Nope! Final answer! I really enjoy watching you "work"! That's a ton of work, plus the time to edit. Thank you for your content!

Hey, I loved this video soo much! I have been tinkering with small engines since my earliest childhood and thats roughly 50 years ago... I am not a professional but learned it by myself by watching and listening to the real guys. Usually when helping friends and myself with these types of engines I find and repair all of the obvious stuff and get them and me happy. But sometimes all the knowledge and experience of the past decades does not apply. To me watching you as a far more experienced mechanic than I will ever be struggling to find all these issues (which I guess are not common in daily business in this combination) was a nice help and support to my own (hobby)work! Thank you so much! Kind regards from Germany

Worked as a mechanic for a good part of my life, and I remember those days. They were the days when I learned more in one day than I did sometimes in a month. As you say, you can't charge the customer for everything, so as my Father who worked over 60 years as a mechanic used to say, "You have to pay for your education boy". Those days you paid and learned. This may be one of your best videos, at least in my book. It is too bad you don't have the time to film more of this type. I also have a Husky that pulls hard, and I am going to pull it apart soon and check the issues you showed.

It had fire when apart an NO fire when I put it together... but sometimes it did. Turns out that the insulation on the kill wire out of the coil was oil soaked and would, at times, ground out to the case. Added a piece of shrink tube insulation to the kill wire and it now, FINALY, runs like a new one!

I used to be a tool tech at a large, orange, big box store. A customer brought in a Stihl gas powered hedge trimmer and needed a new pull cord installed. I thought, no problem. I'll have this done in ten minutes. Three days later, I finally had the new cord installed. I had no idea how overly complicated Stihl made this recoil starter. After pulling off the recoil cover I saw that I had to remove the recoil pulley, because the cord knot was on the bottom, not on the top where it would've been a 10 minute job. When I removed the pulley, the spring popped out. Unlike normal engineers, Stihl's engineers decided to not only use a spring with a compound curve, but it had to be wound and inserted inside stanchions on the bottom of the housing. Because the really long spring was under so much tension and the stanchions were so short, it was impossible for me to wind the spring inside the stanchions without it popping right back out. Replacing the cord was the easy part. I had to fabricate out of PVC the equivalent of a watchmaker's tool to wind up a mainspring, then very quickly pop it inside the stanchions before it tried to unwind. That took three days of modifying the tool and numerous times attempting to pop it into place quickly enough. Maybe Stihl has a special tool to accomplish this. I've never worked on another one since and never will work on another one. Once was more than enough for me.

Priceless video, I was as frustrated as you but I'm so glad I watched it to the end. Thanks for your perseverance while navigating the money pit issues. What a ride. Thanks again Chickanic. You're a genius and a joy to watch. I've learned so much from you. Next time a big Stihl has an issue I'm not going to take it to the shop. I'm going to tackle it myself! I hope your hubby is healing up well.

I have to say, this was the best video on KZbin for this style of content! I laughed, cried, was shocked, and overall could relate SOOO well. This is reality - no polish, no second takes... just real. Thank you for great content, and the entertainment factor for this was off the chart. Took me a couple weeks to get around to leaving a comment, but this should be a must watch for anyone who does their own small engine repair or even professionals for that matter. Kepp up the great work! Shoping at your store right now - getting my Ethanal Sheild!

I have found in the small engine repair biz that it's a labor of love a lot of the time because you can exceed the value of the equipment very easily in parts and labor.

Thank you again for the entertaining and educational video. When I was in High School, after school and on weekends, I worked at the local Chervon Service Station as a "mechanic's assistant" fixing flats, mounting and balancing new tires, and performing oil changes along with everything else he taught me. The MOST important thing he taught me about being a mechanic was to charge for each "BUSTED KNUCKLE" on hard jobs.

*_GREAT HOW TO VIDEO! People do not (or don't want) understand the diagnosing process and the time it takes to test out multiple issues like this. I am glad you showed the entire process vs just showing here is the problem and here is the solution_*
