Why Won't My Chainsaw & Weed Trimmer Start

[@georgebeaulieu8908]

I really like your small engine repair videos. I’ve been with you since you had your pop up camper. You’re right about the traveling channels dying. I was watching about 30 full timers living in their campers. All they talked about was how great it was living on the road. Now almost all have homes. Looking forward to watching your new channel. Good luck.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Thank you

[@antoniovillanueva308]

I loved traveling, but after 8 years I have had enough. I highly recommend "van life", but it is not a forever lifestyle. And it is not for everyone.

[@CChase-rb5fv]

I'm subscribe to both your channels now

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

thanks

[@Rook-1956]

Rob, love your videos, been a follower for a long time. I loved & miss the off grid news videos. You're truly one of the good guys ! Keep up the good work friend.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

thank you

[@billm5433]

I came over to your new channel on your recommendation. Hopefully this will work out for you! Watching from Tampa, Florida.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Welcome!

[@wadewatkins1112]

I've watched your other channel since you started building the tiny house. Have also fixed 4 non running mowers I had by watching your videos. I gladly subscribed and will be watching both channels. Love your simple common sense approach you take with everything you do.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

That is awesome! Thank you

[@stuartandgerrimanhart8870]

We really like your video's and have been watching since you were in the Pop Up Camper. We have learned so much from your lawn mower repair, we used to hire someone to maintain our equipment but now hubby does it himself. Good Luck on the new channel and we will keep watching the Off Grid one also!

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

That is awesome

[@ButterflyKisses.]

I came over from your original channel. But I've got to go back so I can finish it.😊

Following both your channels Rob. Been watching your old channel since you started building your little house.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

thank you

[@waynegenewick8570]

Just subscribed Rob..good luck on the new channel.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Much appreciated

[@rj9203]

I also would like to let people know that I ALWAYS use non ethanol fuel. I conducted a test of my own using ethanol fuel and non. After 1 season the scoring on the cylinder wall of the engine using ethanol was really bad. The other still looked brand new.

[@jerrykoschney5975]

Everyone would be miles ahead using non ethanol fuel but it’s hard to find in some places, the engines run and idle so much better plus fuel stays viable for longer period of time. You should mention its benefits a little once in a while in your videos as a psa.

[@youroam1]

I look forward to this new channel & hope it does Great!

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Thank you

[@jerryhuntjj2885]

I used to own a small engine repair shop in the 90s. You need to charge $20 up front to look at the equipment. I used to always pour the gas into a clear jug before I done anything else to see if the mix was correct. Goodluck on the new channel

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

You won't get it from this community. I would rather make money on repairs than no money.

[@1turf32]

Great video

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

thanks

[@charlesmartin1347]

Another great video!!

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@everettplummer9725]

I'd say to premix the right ratio from day one. Too many people who don't understand the reasons why.

[@daveweese6883]

Wouldn't the trigger have to be wide open to check 2 cycle engines? Does starting fluid have lubricating quality for 2 cycle lubrication? Just asking.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Does not hurt to run a couple of seconds with starting fluid. You can tell if compression is bad by pulling the rope. The exhaust hole gives it all the air it needs so you don't have to worry about the throttle

[@VickyGeagan]

No it is just old fashion Either. It leads to very fast combustion.

[@scottmcintosh2988]

True use Golden Spectral 2 stroke oil

[@DIYVariety]

Thanks alot

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Most welcome

[@daveweese6883]

I watched Steve's video on checking compression, too cold for now, but I am anxious to check out trigger, and no trigger pull when it gets above 0 degrees.

[@oscarblom4885]

Continue success!😊👋🐿️

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Thanks, you too!

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Wow...must be mind numbing watching this video so many time. But I really do appreciate it. Thank you very very much

[@oscarblom4885]

I actually learned something each time. Best wishes to you,Carolyn and Skitty. Thanks 😁👋🐿️

[@stub4trks]

If your compression tester does not have a shrader valve in the line it isn't made for small engines, I just learned this from ''Steves small engine saloon ''

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

yes it does.

[@dt7377]

Over here now Rob.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Thank you

[@LottieMatiskella]

Awesome video!

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@backroads82]

Lots of good, straight forward information. I like the name of this channel. Just subbed and wish you the best. P.S. You are pretty good on small engines. You could teach that guy over on the " Little House Off Grid" channel a thing or two....or not lol.

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

lol. He is an i.d.i.o.t. LOL

[@backroads82]

@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic 🤣

[@Wisdomcalls1]

I would not get mad at someone that ask $10.00 to check it out for me.

[@51-FS]

Is it safe to use starting fuild on 2 stroke?

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

To diagnose start it...yes. But not long term

[@jessicabrewer8616]

This may be a dumb question but do all spark plugs need the same gap?😊

[@ShadeTreeMowerMechanic]

No. Some 2 cycle can be .25"

[@kellicroft9572]

You should definitely charge for a diagnostic test, $15 is cheap enough. If they won't pay you, then you keep the item.

[@timkat630]

I have 2 stihl chainsaws on my 5 acres - I'm subscribed and interested

Thank you
