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"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on KZbin to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Those clips really like flying across the shop. As a practice, anytime I'm taking one off or putting one on, I keep a shop rag over it. That way WHEN it flies off the rag traps it, and I don't waste five minutes crawling on my shop floor.

[@Brownbeardad]

Your video helped me replace the chain sprocket, bar and chain on my 028 Woodboss. Excellent instructions and video. Thanks.

[@EdwardOPage]

Just what I need to see before replacing my neighbor's sprocket. Have enjoyed your previous videos, also

[@EdwardOPage]

@Damari Hendrix Nice to learn it worked out well for you! Now I need to get my act together at my bench and face changing the one on my neighbor's saw. Certainly was satisfying to find an excellent demonstration such as was done on this video. Anymore, if I need to learn 'How To', KZbin seems to be the place to head. A great day to you! -Ed-

[@samuelesquivel8088]

I recently got an 028 and it needed carb work. I still would like to fine tune it but idk how. I did the basic setting and runs great. It just releases alot of oil when running

[@constructiontech1970]

Great info as always!!

[@larrybrito1225]

hello Dony, just have a question i have a 192 sthil chainsaw it works very good except for one thing .the chain keeps spinning ,machine idles perfect .

[@53evergreen]

Hi Don a great video as usual. I have one question. With that wear on the sprocket what were the symptoms with the chainsaw? Maybe I missed something.

Super easy. No lithium greasing the drive shaft and/ or bearing? (I have an 028 I need to replace the sprocket)

[@bucketofguts]

My chain on my 028 AV Super will run while idling, sometimes it is constant. Other times it jumps. Amy wisdom? Great 028 clutch video!

[@LocksmithLegend23]

Mine did the same thing. I replaced the whole clutch but you could just replace the clutch springs if you want. Fixed it right up.

[@MegaKevin61]

Thats the saw is the one I had spark plug orange and when shut off and starting running back wards , LOL had pull plug wire

[@wtbm123]

The 028 was a popular saw , but a little different . Do not see to many of them around here now.

[@lewlansdon4004]

Whats is the best bar and chain fir this saw? And is there a duel port muffler i can mount on it or should i just port the and drill out the baffles with the one thats originally on it. My last quistion is what do think about advancing the timing on this saw slightly?

[@reazmohammed9686]

nice

[@godsfaithfulservants3445]

Don, do you know how to take off the oil pump on the 028 WB?

[@junglejonny1000]

How do you get the chain brake handle spring back on the handle? I have tried everything I can think of.

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

To remove the clutch do you just pull it off once you get to the point you got in this video?

[@timpope1221]

Hey Guys having trouble setting the high idle on a Stihl 028 super wood boss, I rebuilt the carb, replaced the impulse tube and inspected the intake. The saw dies down under load, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks T.Pope

[@hopernally]

Dony do you deal with a wholesaler for parts? I'm an aspiring small engine mechanic and I'm just wondering the best place to get parts.

[@farmerpabst]

Hey Dony, really great videos you make !. Is there a easy way to check if the bearings on the pistion rod is worn ?

[@donyboy73]

+König MOVE THE PISTON UP AND down, if there is play then it needs to be removed

[@farmerpabst]

Ok, Thanks for the advice. It´s on a FS450, I can feel a bit of slip when I do that, like 1/6 of the thickness of a sheet of paper..

[@gordonminchin6299]

How do I take off the clutch thanks

[@victorv4581]

My Stihl 028 AV is from the late 1970's. Where can I find a new sprocket drum, e clip, washer and ring?

[@donyboy73]

+Victor V go to your local Stihl dealer

[@danieldunn3141]

Hey donyboy, question for you. I have a really old stihl 028 av super that I got from my dad. I know its one of the originals. It doesn't have a the metal bar plate and there is not a screw hole between the bar bolts for a screw. Did some of these not come with this? I know everything is completely original on the saw. Thanks for your videos, they are awesome

[@donyboy73]

a lot of the old saws have the adjusting screw between the bar and the body of saw, awkward at times

[@FixAllFixer62]

Ive not seen one like that , I thought all the drums with thought groves txns

[@droidrazor873]

I'm curious how the bar oiling system works. whats it look like on the inside? Do those plastic gears wear out often?

[@47bettyann]

The plastic gear you see is called a worm gear and it will wear out over time. The worm gear sits over the crank and fits against the oil pump. As your chain is turning it turns the worm gear which turns the oil pump which pumps the oil to your bar and chain

[@hollissmith5467]

HI should U put grease on bearing before install of seal and how much . TKS.

[@donyboy73]

yes just a small amount

[@con2rito]

Can the chainsaw still runs, if the clutch is not working properly?

[@johncashfan82]

Shouldn't you put on a new chain with a new sprocket? It's what I always do anyway. Just curious.

[@goose42195]

Love your videos, but one thing that drives me crazy, (because of my OCD, lol), is that you never seem to clean any of the parts after dis-assembly, and then put it all back together dirty and grimy. lol.

[@dudehere1100]

Its a chainsaw..they're oily messes even when you clean them, Believe it or not, that WAS reassembled clean.

[@brotherjohn1441]

Hello, I'm wanting to grease my sprocket bearing on my 362 sthil. But in this video you said not to put to much grease on it because you dont want to get it on your clutch plate. Might I ask you why it would matter if you got grease on you clutch plate? Ps. I am no mechanic, just a guy who is trying to learn stuff....

[@donyboy73]

The clutch could slip if grease get into it

[@buddytaylor3197]

I have a stihl 15inch chainsaw w points and condenser,which i know nothing about,has anyone ever converted over to electronic ignition, if so how much and how hard,any help would be greatly appreciated..thanks

[@gokartbuyer]

I imagine it would be easy like an older briggs and stratton. Just cut the old wires to the points and seal up where they enter the cover with silicon caulk. or remove the points and the cover (although it may affect how the crankshaft seals. Find an electronic ignition that fits the mounts and length of spark plug wire, then just bolt on and hook up your kill switch.

[@buddytaylor3197]

gokartbuyer thanks for the info..I will give it a shot and see what happens

[@gokartbuyer]

BUDDY TAYLOR Good luck! I look forward to hearing how it goes.

[@scottshaddock2987]

donyboy-It appears in your video you start with a 3/8" 7pt sprocket 28 seconds in then it pictures a .325 drum-am I missing something?

[@leemer1]

A 7 point sprocket is .325 which is what he took off and put on. A 3/8" is an 8 point.

[@darrellpickering8535]

I changed mine to the rim type, far easier.

[@gordonminchin6299]

How do I take off the clutch thanks

[@47bettyann]

Gordon you should not have to take off the clutch unless you're replacing the worm gear or the oil punch. If you are referring to the sprocket, when it starts to wear deep grooves in the sprocket it's time to change it. Always remember the sprocket and chain and bar always have to match. For example if you have a .325 sprocket make sure your bar and chain is a .325 bar and chain. Hope this helps
