Hey Steve, a little story. I called a local tool rental/repair service to get a carb kit for a Tecumseh lawn mower engine and was told they didn't have one because Tecumseh went out of business 11 years ago, so I went to Amazon and found a complete carburetor for $11.00 plus S&H total cost $28.00. Replaced it myself and now my line mower ( powerful 2 wheeled weed whacker) is back in action taking down all the tall un-mow able grass. The head takes 140 gauge(I think) 22" string line folded before attaching to the trimmer head creating 4 strings to whack with.

I'm so glad you will still continue to educate us all on KZbin! I know what you're doing is awesome because without your videos, I would be paying more out of pocket for repairs! Thank you and keep doing great things!

[@barrypettit3668]

People can be real pains. Hang in Steve. Thanks for your videos.

[@arlynking1300]

Can't blame you one bit , no-one should expect you to do this for free , that's total BS ! Thanks for all you do providing solid helpful info along the way.

[@FUQDUP]

Everyone has a breaking point. I for one am grateful you're around - you've helped me in the past, and I'll continue to watch you in the future.

I've realized after 56+ years on this planet that the complainer population is growing. There are people you could give a bullion of gold to, and they would complain it was too heavy to carry.

[@raymonddangelo185]

Steve, sorry some people are never appreciative, they love to complain no matter what you do. I am very thankful for all your great explanations and repair instructions, plus I need continued guidance with my drink to job difficulty ratio. Happy holidays to you and your family. You are appreciated more than you know. Over and out, Ray.

I tried dipping my toes into a side hustle in fixing cars, and someone was told about me, and in looking over their car on a repair, it was obvious he was gonna nickle and dime me - poor maintenance everywhere, and he wanted a CV boot taped up. And then he brought in the car to deal with a check engine light - running rich. I replaced his air filter. You could tell he was a little miffed because I charged him $40 for 5-10 minutes of repair. (his fuel trims went to normal when I pulled the filter, sooo). I stopped responding after awhile. And he wondered why his normal neighbor mechanic wasn't available much anymore....

I used to help folks out with all kinds of engine issues in small equipment, vehicles etc. It took years, but I had to learn to say NO. Too many of these people just didn't appreciate my time and effort. These days I'm very, very careful about who I help.

[@SoloRenegade]

yes, you have to screen your customers.

[@WeatherNut27]

Yup.. customers can be a headache. Problem is not many young folks do what you do with a respect and work ethic style. But please keep the videos coming!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Will do

[@watcherbd45]

Thanks for all your advice Steve. I am with you on all the winners in today’s world. Let the winners figure it out on their own from now on !!!!!!!

[@judisinger3693]

You had me!!! Thank God you are still going to do this! I've done weed abatement tractor work for the public for 20+ years and just quit this year. Same exact reasons! Always can get someone cheaper or want it done yesterday when the weeds are 4 foot tall and 2 days before the deadline! I'm done!!!!
