I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
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 whacker, 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, zero turn mower, 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"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on KZbin to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Hi Donyboy, I have been following your channel for many years. Your videos and instructions are quite simply the best. On the Tecumseh starter you must have saved me about two hours work when I understood how the recoil starter was designed and built. Your channel is worth its weight in gold. Thank you and may your business prosper even more!

[@joemcgeough1616]

Another excellent video. Clear instruction, no annoying gimmicks or music. Thanks.

[@100vg]

Always such great tips and tutorial procedures. You're the man. Thanks, Don!

[@elcheapo5302]

You can skip the plastic melting process by just winding the spring fully tight then backing off until the rope hole in the sheave matches up with the rope hole in the housing. I like to get it there by backing off at least 1 full turn. That's was how I was taught at Tecumseh school back in the 90s.

[@CFProton]

Another professional installation of what you would think was a simple recoil system (anything but)! Thanks for taking your time Dony.

[@carlmiller1034]

Excellent step-by-step repair video on the Don. Thanks for making. Awesome video footage and close-ups. Your videos are always top notch (I tend to take that for granted with your channel). I will definitely file this video away, in case I ever need to perform myself. I love working on Tecumseh. Thanks again, and have a great upcoming weekend.

[@jameslester3861]

This is the best tutorial I have been able to find on repairing a brokenTecumseh recoil spring. Thanks so much for posting it. Yesterday I went to replace the rope on my tiller and the spring would not tighten. Really did not want to have to replace the entire assembly. The engine is a H-50 from around 1992.

[@knighthawk86855]

Excellent job, and great editing as always.

hi 👋 Don thanks 🙏 for sharing sir very informative & straight to the point bud 👍👍 smaller parts are easy to loose & to break job well done 👍 sir 😀😀😀

[@patrickpoulard24]

I have a Tecumseh engine and I have that same type of recoil. A couple of years ago, I had to do the same exact repair on my recoil and it was a great success, thanks to some of your older videos. 😊👍🏿Keep up the good work Donny

[@macoombi]

This video helped me out today. Replaced my pull cord on my Husqvarna snowblower with a Briggs engine. Also swapped the carb out and it's like a new machine now. Thanks!

[@gregwells2331]

top notch video Don!!

[@Spencer1609751]

Thank You!

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

Another excellent video

[@stephenzies8867]

Don You Are Awesome

[@nbpt1000]

As options to a heated up screw driver to make the notch in the plastic you can use a round file and file away. Or a Dremmel tool with an appropriate cutting tool. Good video. Very informative.

[@josephgriskauskas9639]

Thanks again

[@brucekivi]

Thanks! You always have good videos, very informative. I had an old Tecumseh like that. The blower housing finally rusted all to pieces and I gave up on it. The engine was still good though, but some little problems like the recoil was bad and the carburetor would leak sometimes. Good machine for many years though.

[@martyleary4131]

You are just amazing!

[@Xzavieur]

Nice video. I like to use my small rotary tool( dremel to most) and either a cutting disc or drill bit to make that hole for the rope. Quick and easy

[@donyboy73]

that's a good tip!

[@baddad5781]

Another great informative video Don thank you. I don't know if others would be interested but personally I'd like you to make a bio video telling us how you got started in small engine repair and how you acquired all the knowledge you have. Thanks again

[@MsMatamor]

Merci Don From Québec City.

[@rickthelian2215]

Very well explained 😀🇦🇺

[@boblemon2103]

Wow, fixed my limp cord! Melted a notch and just put another turn on it. Pulled it three times and the cord snapped where it had been dangling for the past 5 years, lol, of course. Oh well at least I had extra cord around to just replace it.

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Dony. The fastest fix I found for these is to get ride of any Tecumseh engine I came across HAHAHAHAHAHA...

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

ALWAYS get's a thumbs up

[@73superglide62]

I dont recall have problem with theses .actually I like theses type

[@rightlanehog3151]

With the electric starter not working on my Tecumseh powered snowblower, I recoil in horror at the thought of my starter spring breaking 😉

[@bashirkakar9775]

Thank you for very good explanation and where are you located.?

[@harrygrimley4352]

Thanks for sharing this with us. I just tried to replace my rope and the spring came undone. So punched out the center and cut an inch off the spring reassembled and it must be to tight the arms won't grab. Bummer. Have to try again another day.

[@jims5630]

Hi Donny, I have a 250’ gravel driveway and we get a foot plus of new snow a few times a year…. What would be a good used snow blower for these condition? I saw your blower video a few weeks ago, I believe it was an Arien? Like your videos, fixed a few Stihl chainsaws with your help! Thank you

[@tazmun]

The first thing I want to say is there's nothing wrong with doing it the way he's offering here. In fact there's probably a lot more satisfaction involved. However years ago they wouldn't allow us to change the parts on a recoil that was externally mounted like this. It was just company policy and since the parts are almost expensive as a new one depending on your labor calculation plus fewer call backs the mold is set. If you have a one hour min labor rate price should be the same either way. We kept a lot of these on the truck so it was a quick fix.

[@Patrick4959]

Awesome stuff Donny mate cheers from Australia 🐨 🐑 🌏 or the land down under to your area in Canada 🍁 and will the same parts work on a Honda lawn mower recoil spring type too ?

[@steveharleyfan]

Nice video Don. But I'd be worried the WD40 rinses off the white grease.

[@canoenut]

Fantastic advice and how-to! Just found your channel. Looking for a snowblower that I can depend on for reliability and replacement parts when needed. I live near Montréal and need a 24" 2 stage gas machine. Any suggestions?

Hey donyboy73

[@donyboy73]

have a good weekend!

[@mikepizel1922]

I purchased a machine with the recoil assembly apart and no paws, do you have a part number for them. Just like you used in this video. Thanks

[@nelsondasilva667]

Quick q would a extra turn make the spring pop out if u pull too much when starting? I’m having trouble spring is fine but when trying to start spring fails till I take apart then works fine until I hook up and than doesn’t retract

[@donyboy73]

yes the spring will keep popping out and won't retrack

[@franklipski2438]

Have an old Troy bilt Horse tiller with a Kohler K161T engine. The recoil starter is shot. Insides broken and only 1 dawg left. I am unable to find a replacement. Is the another brand that may work on this tiller?

[@philliphall5198]

Where do you buy the most parts from ????

[@IGoProEVERYTHING]

How do you replace the rope on the original reel?

[@Monza62000]

just did one tue spring was jammed but not broke .....but it is very cheap made...

[@johnw1178]

Don, I love you channel and also follow Steve’s Small engine Saloon. I absolutely hate Payton. You may want to consider following Steve as I was able to send a one time payment to him through PayPal. If there is a way to send a one time payment through Patron please let me know?

[@donyboy73]

thanks John, the link is in video description and also on my channel page

[@philliphall5198]

I’m shocked at the price of the spring now, just wondering why ??? I started reworking the latch end most of the time because of spring prices

[@blakethiel5331]

Mine looks nothing like that!!

[@thenewhumandesign]

Kind of obnoxious you can just swap out the recoil spring.

[@glennlurman3514]

Wastage in action. Rather that replace a spring you have to buy complete assy. trimmers clutch housing does a bearing again buy a new assy. There will be no mechanics in the future just part swappers being told what to change and how to change it by software. Wish sometimes that an Asteroid will smack into this planet and reset us for a bit.

[@GypsyHunter232UK]

We thought u was gonna replace the actual spring coil..notjust a spring cartridge
