Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
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 wacker, 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, 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 KZbin and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

It's such a joy to listen to him. So clear, complete, logical and calm. Thank you for these videos.

[@nestorlugo.]

Well duh,he's Canadian so...

[@philliphall5198]

No waste of time and to the point Love you’ll videos and will watch them all

[@dwaynemadsen964]

"It only fits on one way" In college I worked for a small engine repair shop. A new kid came in, son of a friend of the boss/owner. Replaced diaphragms in a small carb, it didn't work. Boss goes back in to check what has happened, diaphragm on wrong, screwed down until the alignment pins made new holes in the material. Boss exploded, kid quit. You produce awesome detailed videos with specific examples and wide application. Thank you! And stay safe.

[@mytmyt]

I can't thank you enough for this video. My saw just stopped working last night in the middle of a cut. By following your disassembly process, I was able to determine I had a busted fuel line. With luck, I'll be up and running tomorrow after getting a replacement line and filter.

[@bob_thebuilder]

Good comprehensive and careful explanation. Thank you.

[@bobross9332]

The 136 was the first chainsaw I ever purchased.. It only recently stopped working and I knew it was the diaphram and valves. Great video and thanks for pointing to which kit was necessary, that information is always a pain to find. Can't wait to get my baby Husky up and running again. : )

[@xldh44]

Hands down, THE BEST "how to" video I have seen on KZbin, period! I thank you and my friend who had the disabled Husky 136 thanks you.

[@cncbuss1]

The most comprehensive repair video for my little Husq Chainsaw. Love it! Thanks Dony.

[@TheStrayguitars]

The most precise and accurate guy I’ve seen on chainsaws. It’s great that someone as far away as the southern tablelands in Australia can replace the carburettor in his 94 year old Mum’s Husqvarna 136 like a pro. Just from watching Donny do it. Thanks mate.

[@droversdog757]

Someone from south Gippsland... my late father's chainsaw. Great video.

[@andydavidson5253]

Dony is the man. An excellent presentation he has provided. Husqvarna should add him to their payroll.

[@mad3max3]

Great video. When I shook out the gas to store it, that filter fell out and I had no idea what it was, or how to replace it. You saved me a lot of money and showing how to adjust the carb was the icing on the cake. Thank you!

[@KP-pt3bi]

A huge Thank You! I have an old 137 that had been sitting on shelf for 6+ years. Had the exact same problem with a disintegrated fuel line. This video helped me get it going. Without it, I would have junked the saw. Great production quality as well.

[@gustavomiguel4119]

The same hapened to me.... 8 years i'm going yo rebuilt....i hope Buy the pieces by this lands.....

[@jlhitchcox]

This is one of the clearest and most down to earth how to videos that I have seen. I have a mistreated Husqvarna 41 to try this on. Thanks so much

[@JPilot2]

Dony, thank you very kindly for doing this wonderful video on the Husqvarna 136 Chainsaw carburetor rebuild, fuel line replacement, along with showing your first carburetor adjustment, plus the final carburetor adjustment! Well done!! :-)

[@pwleppa]

Thanks Dony. An excellent video. As a chain saw user I wish we would see lots of chain saw videos from you. Best regards, Petri Finland.

[@ralstondaley6448]

Thank you so much dony with your tutoring i have successful done a total rebuild on my 390 stihl chainsaw,piston rings block and bearings one month now ,its working beautifully thank you so much donyboy

[@brucecurrie6913]

Thank you...really useful. Appreciate the added info re carb settings

[@davidmeckley6929]

Spot on step by step instructions from someone who knows their stuff! Much appreciated!

[@stephenmarshall8430]

I ground flats on each side of the adjustment screws and made a simple tool with an oblong female shape. Thanks again Dony for great explanations. I used the settings you showed at the end of this video and that got my machine running! Next step: use it under load. Thanks again.

[@themomon7526]

A great thanks Dony for the video. Even if the video is old, it saved my life 🙂🙂. I have a 20 years old 136 that worked very well until a few days ago. I had zero knowledge of how to determine the cause and repair before I saw your video. Thanks also for the references of the products to order. It's a great job. My chainsaw is now working perfectly again. 👍👍 France.

[@SimpleLife1971]

WOW, talk about a nice step by step video, fantastic! My Husqvarna 455 just started exhibiting a "bogging down" symptom which seems to be common. The saws about 4 years old and doesn't see a lot of use but is maintained using fresh fuel and is cleaned and sharpened regularly. Over the past year I noticed the rpm's seemed higher than when new and the saw actually started to cut better. Unfortunately the bogging started yesterday in the middle of cutting some standing oak. I wish you were closer, I'd drop it off! Bob

[@EddieTheGrouch]

I really liked this one. It's clear and covers the basics most homeowners will run into with occasionally used saws..like me. I have a balky Craftsman/Poulan and your tip at the end jibes with my vapor locking and hot start issue. I think it's set too lean for the Gas-a-hol we have. Great job as always and thanks for taking the time and effort to share it with us.

[@seavee2000]

Such a helpful video,having similar issues with my 141,this has been of immense value-thank you.

[@fjauke]

Had my 136 Husqvarna for 11 years now and never did any maintenance. Used it 2-3 times a years and now it will not start. Thanks for the video, it gives me a great place to start in getting the old girl going again.

[@donyboy73]

thanks for being a loyal viewer!

[@brendanhayes2752]

Great teacher and videographer! Thanks

[@spresc2180]

Done!! Being a 2 stroke, I did not think it was done the same way as any 4 stroke engine.

[@Jb-qn2xz]

I have ghis exact saw. I bought it with the case for $30 and had to replace the fuel system from the head back. a total of $50 and your video it works now! thanks!!

[@HaddockCaptainThe]

Fantastic. Explanation of what is required. Now comes my part!!

[@ralphsmithco1]

Yours is one of the very best how to channels for small engines.

[@TOMA21207]

All good advices in one video. Nice job dony. Have a nice weekend.

[@cncbuss1]

Perfect Video. My little Husq 136 is losing power and stalls after it's started and gets warmed up . I now know how to check the items you mentioned and see if they're causing the problem. Thanks !

[@SpiritOccupying]

Thanks from UK Donyboy, carb apart and kit ordered. Hope that solves starting problem.

[@herbthehandyman3712]

I have a 136 in the shop that has been sitting for a few years. Gonna try this. Thanks for the video.

[@MadSmokerBBQ]

I love your videos. Very informative and you make it look easy.

[@chriseulberg6879]

Thanks for a great video, very well done. It gave me the confidence to repair my 136 myself. You saved me time and money and I get to keep this handy little saw. Thanks again.

[@onlybugwit]

Great film,,, got me out of trouble,,took mine to bits with the faults EXACTLY the same as yours, left it on the bench while I tracked the parts and then forgot how it reassembled. Will,,, hopefully fix it tomorrow, Thanks again.

[@belue7]

Thanks for this video dony, i have a poulan super that i am working on and this saw is very similar, no doubt i will be able to fix it with the detail you put in this video, Thanks!!

[@ThePracticalPatriot]

I have that exact saw and unfortunately I broke the handle several years ago. It sat for a long time on my project shelf..... Then last year I decided to repair it. I bought a new handle, replaced the plug, the air cleaner etc.....Couldn't get it to fire. Turned out it was EXACTLY the problem yours had- rotten and collapsed fuel line. I replaced it and the filter and it's now one of my favorite saws. I use it for limbing mostly and it has plenty of power for that kind of work and it's easy to use all day due to it's light weight. Wish I had seen this video before I tore mine apart- would have saved me some time!

[@plasmaluz]

Good video. Good image. Everything focused!

[@elmychen]

very good, useful presentation, my 136 works again.

[@raywright5332]

very good video, will watch again before i do my Husky 350, thank you for the video.

[@apsychoalso]

used you video as a reference for working on my Dad's old Husky 44, circa early 80's. Just finished puttin' in a fuel line, filter, diaphrams and some fine tunin', and, as we say heah in Maine, it's runnin' some wicked sweet! Thanks for the video! Great job.

[@Robbie20401]

Hi, i have a Husq' 3'6 that just wont start, it worked a few months ago but now, just wont start, so THANK YOU for making this video, i feel confident now i can at least try something now that could be wrong with it,,,,this vid is so informative and exactly what i needed, much appreciated, THANK YOU so much !!!

[@Robbie20401]

Well, i got the kit, and a new air filter, a new fuel line and a new fuel filter, and wahoooo, IT WORKS, Thank you so much !!!!!

[@skybronco415]

Nice video, just changed my fuel line out with the help. Like to add just a few observations, and tips. First, I think I'll empty my fuel tank between extended uses as it may help in extending the life of the fuel line considering the ethanol in the fuel is probably the biggest culprit in ruining the fuel line. The replacement line will seem like it is different diameter then the original but actually the original line will swell because of the ethanol and give it larger diameter appearance with thinner wall thickness. Also, putting the angle cut in the line to feed through the hole can be done with a pair of scissors and if you make it very long and tapered (like an inch) it will feed through the hole very easy, once it stops, grab it with a pair of hemostats (my Pet Smart had some) and pull it. Pulling it will decrease the diameter and make it easier to get thru. I found needle nose pliers to be too large and bulky to really get in there, the hemostats were awesome.

[@msirrtum88]

+Mike Murray - Thanks a lot, this new fuel line was my nightmare for two days- and then i saw your post. made my day :)

[@joem2197]

Great video. Need the details of how to do this and the video has given me the confidence to try. The newer Husqvarna saws are not getting good reviews. If i can't fix my 136 myself, it's cheaper to purchase a new saw. Thank you.🙂

[@donyboy73]

Good luck!

[@claypigeon001]

Clear concise instructions and part numbers 👍😀 what more could we ask for? Thanks

[@kevinthomas5356]

Very well explained. Thank you so much.

[@MrMajic49]

Informative, detailed and clear. Thank you for your effort.

[@daladierjoseericsamson8223]

JOB WELL DONE SIR THANK YOU.

[@charosenz]

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to comment on the carburetor screw adjustments too.

[@donyboy73]

they are spring loaded so they usually stay, caps are mostly to prevent people from adjusting them

[@georgemichael983]

Great video,I am going to get my fuel line tomorrow.many Thanks

[@gustavomiguel4119]

Yes...excelente....slow...well explained... You saved....me

[@GarryBoyle-oe1ld]

Good to watch you working that saw you Steve and chickcanic have teach me a lot I do thank you keep up the good teaching

[@melgale7609]

Brilliant and unhurried explanation, I was looking for guidance on my 137 Husqvarna reference replacing the fuel line which has perished. I have had it for maybe 20 years and (slap on wrist) have left it for unused periods with fuel in the tank. Fuel line Installation is slightly different but close enough to get the bones done. Thanks Donyboy

[@jimdean5284]

Excellent video donyboy73, you have helped me out of a did not know what to do situation. Many many thanks JD.

[@donyboy73]

depends on the cost, if the piston and cylinder are in good condition it usually is worth it

[@jamesantonelli2580]

Excellent video!!!! Very detailed and helped me out a lot!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@leec12]

Well timed I just got given a Husky 41!

[@mikedion8794]

Great video, I have that exact saw and it has starting problems. This video gives me some good information to fix it. Thanks!

[@donyboy73]

have a good weekend

[@1956vaughan]

Excellent! Hugely informative and very helpful - cheers from Australia!

[@donyboy73]

thanks

[@johnclarke6647]

I bought an ms 180 off of eBay and I went all the way through it. I replaced everything with oem parts. The sprocket bearing was frozen to the crank and the oil pump was loaded with woodbuggers. I cleaned out the oil and fuel tanks and all fuel and oil lines. I put a new AM carb on it because I could not get the oem carb to work, properly, even after I rebuilt it. The key thing to do on the 180 is the air box, air filter and carb gasket. .

[@micstica]

I have a sick 136. This is a great video on a great channel!!

[@jameslee2105]

the 136 is actually a poulan product with husky badging . the cylinder coating on these very inexpensive home owner saws is not very robust and will cause piston and ring scoring and seizing . watch that the main jet is not turned too far in as lean running will cause the engine to self destruct before you have any idea what has happened .

[@angelgkd]

Best video! Keep up the good work!

[@grahamadams8275]

Absolutely excellant video. Thank you.

[@donyboy73]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jamese9283]

invaluable video...thanks for posting

[@Bayport78]

haha I like how your working on the husky with all the stihl signs in the background.

[@conniebaldwin4175]

Very good video thanks

[@isaacmercado7216]

Very nice vid. I fix so much this way now. You did a nice job. Really. Most folks would put it in trash n get whole new saw. My only problem is figure out dia, id n od. Hate Goin back and forth to buy all in one line kit. Mabe check on line manual (avlb) from specs. But this all I need to know Thank you again.

[@thesoftgoat1398]

Great video it was a big help, my model 141 (bought around 1999 ) is nearly identical.

[@stevechapman1848]

Great video - helped me tremendously. Thank You - you are the man'

[@donyboy73]

you're welcome and thank you

[@stuntmanization]

Glad that you mentioned that the Poulan's might need to have the needles out a bit more. I have a Poulan 2775 and I think I have the carb set correctly but I need an idle screw spring, lost it !

[@TheFloridaPappy]

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

[@scuffieduffie]

Most of the times i bend the tabs a little bit up. Worked all the times for me. But best to replace for a customer ofcource.

[@oliverbreanna789]

Donyboy73 tu ERES mi maestro numero GRACIAS por tu habilidad

[@donyboy73]

thanks Merle, got the donation!

[@donyboy73]

yes

[@jjvwv1]

Great video. I have the exact same saw. Really helped with the carb adjustment after some carb work I did on it.

[@donyboy73]

thanks for posting

[@stephenmarshall8430]

Hi Dony et al. I greatly appreciate your attention to detail and your video has guided me through the reassembly of a saw I took apart ten years ago! I ran into something surprising that your saw didn't have. The carburetor adjustment screws are actually unslotted: not straight, not Phillips, not star, not hex, they are externally knurled, and the top of the head is cone shaped. I have never seen a screw like this (nor am I someone who routinely repairs small motors or carburetors) and I wonder if there is a special tool to turn them. I thought maybe the adjustment is supposed to be made before putting the filter on, but it's too hard to reach in there. I hope there is a tool.

[@donyboy73]

watch my video TOOL REVIEW - Carburetor Adjusting Tool For Small 2 Cycle Engines

[@sirjohnuk]

***** yes but, always a but. the fuel line came out the left side of the carb not the right ! just paying attention to detail. Great video! don

[@commercialengineering6218]

Excellent video - most helpful, thanks for taking time to make it

[@print-master]

Thanks for this video, it was exactly what I need I have the exact same saw l and the fuel line had perished.

[@donyboy73]

greetings from Canada!

[@donyboy73]

thank you

[@BlackMtnPowersports]

what is your opinion on spark plug testers? i have one that goes on the plug and the boot and it is very clear whether the machine has spark or not. i picked it up for a couple of dollars the other day and it was worth the money!

[@blowietube]

Excellent video - thankyou for posting it!

[@tonydeleo7697]

Hi, You adjusted the carb running without the air filter, will the saw run differently when you replace the filter, requiring additional adjustment on the carb? Thanks f Tony

[@donyboy73]

THANKS

[@spresc2180]

An excellent video, which I can reference to my Husky 141. Could you please show us how to check for compression in the engine? That would be most helpful. Thanks

[@zyplex1]

Would you think, doing more then a carb rebuild on an older unit not worth the time, even thou your planing on keeping it ?

[@donyboy73]

yes the limiter caps are for that

[@Tifford1]

Excellent video.

[@RentersHomestead]

great video; I inherited a small husq. saw from my grandfather that had sat for a couple of years. I took it to a local shop and I do trust the guys there. I took it in for a fuel line replacement and carb service. They replaced the primer bulb and fuel line but the saw failed the leak test. They informed me there was a fairly bad leak in the crank case. However, the saw will start easily and runs ok. For the life of me though I can't seem to get the carb adjusted correctly especially once the saw warms up. Would you suspect that is bc of the air leak causing the saw to run too lean?

[@daveycrockett64]

You will never get the saw idling steadily if there is an air leak. It's not too hard to change the oil seals and reseal the case.

[@TheHalothane]

Hi Don, just subscribed and like many of your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.I have a Husqvarna 460 rancher (24") and after doing my yearly maintenance (spark plug, air and fuel filter) had the misfortune of discovering a cracked fuel line. The line is cracked coming from the bulb towards the engine - it is a clear/amber line, not the black opaque line that is from the fuel tank.Do you have any videos showing how to repair this? If I'm not mistaken, I do have to take the carburetor off. I've been watching these videos and I think I can manage without a specific video for my issue.Again, thank you for sharing!

[@merlenelson4894]

Ha! That’s exactly what I deal with most. I have, and buy, lots of old saws to have my preferred models for tree work. It’s usually a little thing and seeing an intelligent systematic way of going through a non-running saw makes all the difference. Dony you add so much value in what you do...where is that donate button....?

[@ronaldbeatty9423]

Hi donyboy I have the same saw 136 and you helped me out a lot thank you
