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!

Can you do a story on fuel additives and particularly Stabill?

Chick, my echo weed trimmer did it while cutting, I kept cutting till I ran it out of gas. Put new gas in. Runs good a little while start back. Could it just be time for a new diaphragm?

[@zerubbabelsbridge]

Two years ago I spent hours looking for this video on KZbin. Couldn't find it, so I couldn't fix my cousins trimmer. She deemed me worthless. Kicked me off her farm, And now I'm back in the city working at Domino's pizza. Life sucks lol.

Awesome!

That old snapper rider brings back memories of a dear old friend of mine. He had same snapper and cutting his lawn was therapy for him. He had a smile on his face the whole 3/4 of an acre. He also was a bee keeper, and grafted an apple tree to have four different apples. He owned and ran a popular bar and grill on a state university campus in new center Detroit. He’s in his nineties now and is doing about as good as you can that old.

[@vickieengland7947]

[@jonw3550]

Wow, you’re good. I literally search your videos when I have a problem and consider your videos “professional development” even though I’m not a landscaper and just a Joe Schmo taking care of his stuff.

1. Mechanic in a Bottle 2. A few drops of brake fluid restore elasticity to rubber seals and gaskets.

[@chuckster6513]

Well I'll be darn. That is exactly what I have been doing with my trimmer for years. Tried to get my neigher to do it but he was afraid he would blow up his engine. So I just do it for him, because it works ! Thanks for your videos. Take Care

[@larryrussell4905]

All of my gasoline equipment is kept full of gas and I run them at least every two weeks. They are kept at the door of my shop so they are not "out of sight, out of mine". My gasoline generator is run monthly, under varying loads until it runs out of the pint of gasoline I put in it. I have NEVER had an issue with any generator I have ever owned doing this routine. It's on my calendar to do regularly! Great channel! Thanks for all the videos!

[@scotchdrnkr]

Wish I was that dedicated. I can do monthly stuff on some things but not my lawn equipment

[@ghost307]

@@scotchdrnkr Disney has a very effective way of exercising their emergency generators. They disconnect from the electric utility and run on the generators for the overnight shift.

[@kenbrown2808]

my last generator wouldn't level off this year, rodding out the jet didn't fix it, so I bought a new one. - the old one is 18 years old, and showing signs of electrical gremlins as well. the big problem I had during that time was ethanol related. old one will go to the saw shop to get worked up and will go into the family shop for storage.

[@SherwoodSchwartz123]

Same here!

[@BearE9090]

Had that problem before. Took the carb off and cleaned it. But next time, I will use your tip. Thanks.

Thanks Chickanic. Always enjoy your videos.

[@Geonious]

At the end of the season, I empty the fuel and run the engine until it stalls out. Then it's ready to store for the winter. Spring time I give it some fresh fuel and BAM, it starts and runs as intended. I do the same for my ATVs. Top off the fuel tank and turn off the petcock and run the ATV dry. Never had an issue with them in over 39yrs.! Good tips, keep them coming! P.S. I also use non-ethanol gas in my yard equipment engines and ATVs.

[@RC-ld8oj]

Yep. Old school dirtbike/atv trick I was taught and used for decades.

[@kfelix2934]

Same here. I learned that while talking to tree trimming business i FLA doing hurricane work. They advise me if you do not run the 2 stroke at least once per month, drop all fuel run it dry and hang it up. I never had to tinkle with this doing this , just add new fresh fuel and prime, pull the damm cord 2-5 things and it should start by the next pull.

[@bruced625]

That’s what my leaf blower is doing, bogging down. I’ll have to try that! Thanks Bre! You’re awesome!

[@barrybebenek8691]

Great tips in this one. That choke-trick is awesome. Thanks for this. 🇨🇦👍🏼

[@wallebo]

Great tip on starting equipment after a long rest period. This has to be the best down to earth channel on the internet as far as I am concerned.

[@williamcrane8236]

First tip on a 2 stroke stored with fuel in it. Check that the burn barrel is cold, don't care if it hasn't burn in a couple days, COLD. Dump fuel into the burn barrel. Fill with fresh mix, pump it through and go to it. And ya, do the choke trick till every thing loosens up.

[@marcobrian1619]

Hello, I'm in UK been doing small engines for over 20yrs..,..yet IV picked up on someny tricks ect that iv not thought about. Guess we all don't know everything in this game. Fantastic vlog....vids.... keep them up chapess.

[@sherrismith4311]

I had 2 weed eaters doin the exact same thing last year. 1 got 1going, idk how lol. The other 1 I didn't. Thank u 4 sharing I will definitely try this next time.

[@vanguy9780]

If Chickanic's trick does not work for you, remove the old fuel from the tank. Get you some Mechanic in a Bottle and pour some into the tank. Push the primer bulb about a dozen times to circulate the solution thru the carb. Let it sit over night. Next day add fresh fuel to the tank and it will start right up. It's very simple. Even better tip: always use ethanol free gas and you will never have this problem at all

[@DavidJackman-wd4ps]

Another good video. Hope your Hubby is doing well.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

Thanks again for the tips!

[@michaelrockwell9691]

That's actually how I "quick" start almost every piece of stick equipment in my shop. I show the same thing to my customers all the time. Even machines that are normally run can be slow to start if the carburetor us getting older. It works just as good on them as well.

[@johnbissett3653]

Worked great, Thanks

[@markwray3905]

Thanks for the fix😊

[@geraldhandy2589]

I live in south central North Carolina. My Craftsman tiller has been sitting for THREE YEARS with the same gas in it. It also has Ethanol Shield in the gas. I got it out Sunday and checked it out. It started on the FOURTH pull and ran flawless!!! Ethanol Shield really works!
