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!

The OLD MAN at Eliminator Performance saying we really liked this video. Not many realise the amount of money that can be made on spare parts from an engine teardown even when selling them at 1/2 list price. Not only does it save your customer a lot of money it can expedite the return of the equipment so much faster ie: the B&S camshafts with the auto compression release are on back order until December 2022 wow eh? And the Chinese ones online may last one day or one week. We also have never seen an engine so internally grenaded! Once again thanks for being one of the FIRST to post small engine repair videos, you where one of the inspirations for Jake starting his channel and both he and i have learned so much over the years watching your videos.

[@evanchapmanfanman]

That part at 17:00 is the “synchro-balance” counterbalance weight, it’s used in place of crankshaft weights to offset the vibration generated by the piston movement. Such a shame to see an engine wasted due to neglect.

[@evanchapmanfanman]

@@Rein_Ciarfella no, fnaguitarplayer has a good video about synchrobalancers. In short they ride on a lobe on the crankshaft and are connected to the block by means of a mini con rod.

[@sparky1044]

Yes,definitely more teardowns! I enjoy taking apart junk machines for scrap,I make a few bucks, get to use my tools and just fun seeing how things fit together.

[@HallNeedsaRose1]

Nice autopsy Doc. Shame to see an engine destroyed from neglecting to check the oil. Like the breakdown..

[@robstone5333]

Absolutely longer vids about engine tear downs and rebuilds.

[@canoetipper019]

Loved the teardown vid...helps us see the inside of the engine that rarely is seen (even when they are all torn up like this one). This also helped understand why proper oil level is so important. Cheers from NB

[@carlsmallmotors1114]

Yes tear down yes longer videos

[@Zombeegun]

Dony, yes definitely make more tear-down vids as we can learn more as to how these engines go together. Lot's of good info here. Thanks!

[@gregwmanning]

I enjoyed this dismantling video, seeing what is on the inside. Its a shame it was destroyed so much.

[@vvegas9221]

nice to take all the mystery out of this engine. teardowns are much appreciated.

[@bigk9673]

Yep love to watch tear down videos longer videos thanks keel up good work

[@jameshedrick605]

I've blown up a few engines but never seen one blow up like that. I would love to see more tear down videos and any time i scrap an engine i always keep any good parts

[@retiredcanadian8462]

Yes, please do more tear downs. Nice to see what is inside to make these engines tick.

[@raynaldgodin3314]

Good job Don, I definitely would like more of those teardown videos, it's really instructive.

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Wow! There us just no end to the talented diversity of Dr.DonyBoy.. From a brilliant Surgeon to Transplant Specialist to the finest Mechanical Coroner on KZbin.

[@harryweening7199]

Love watching teardowns as well as rebuilds.

[@johnobiro5202]

Looks like that engine was knocking a bit before it give up the ghost. Nice one. 👍🔧🇬🇧

[@mea56]

Thank you for your time and expertise. Personally, I would like to see you do more tear down videos.

[@vitellaj]

You can learn a lot by disassembly or reverse engineering. The more you do the more we learn.

[@lauriemcdougall8415]

I love these tear down videos, it's a really good education as to what's going on inside the motors.

[@RottnRobbie]

Teardowns are good. And longer videos (up to a point - I rarely watch anything more than 35 minutes or so) are just fine with me.

[@nitro74cs]

Nice video. If you ever do a vintage engine/machine restoration video, it would be great.

[@rublefranklin8762]

Yes more tear downs please, lots of good info on what to save and valve of parts....👍

[@deplorableb.r.4211]

I like these longer teardown videos. Please keep making them. Thx.

[@redmodelaguy4778]

Much can be learned from the analysis of failures ... informative and useful. Thanks

[@wswerv1]

Love the tear downs and your comments about what is worth keeping.

[@rickthelian2215]

Thanks for the tear downs, more please

[@brianbanks3044]

this is great stuff Don....so many times we see stuff replaced and never know what happens to the insides or why they failed...thanks for all your hard work!!!!

[@donyboy73]

MORE TO COME!

[@whatdoyouthinktodd]

Yes please longer videos and teardowns are fun It's always nice to see carnage though it's still painful to know that somebody lost an engine.

[@paulgill9989]

Got to love some part harvesting from ruined equipment :) Another great video!

[@andrewdickson9964]

Great indepth video even a stuffed motor is use full you saved some really good parts 👍

[@davidball3081]

Yes. More tear downs. Different makes and models. Very helpful. Thanks!!!

[@buannajim8091]

Do more tear downs, Don. Good stuff!

[@RussellBooth1977]

Taryl Dactal uses the hammer 🔨 and prybar method to remove flywheels on lawn mower engines all the time !

[@jdhorton1432]

Would LOVE seeing more tear downs!!

[@Lone-Wolf87]

Definitely you should do more videos of teardown engines. Because they will also teach and show what happens when the engine breaks down. It will be an educational view of what to expect when you don't take care of your equipment. Great teardown by the way. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

LOVE the tear downs, SUGGEST when you do them to TITLE the clip with the HP AND Model & Type, that way those who look specifically for that Model & Type can find it easier

[@jackfishmagurkin1093]

Definatly show more tear down videos.

[@facereader99]

Liked this tear down video especially since there are very few if any riding mowers in my neck of the woods. Thank you! Ron from Ron Small Engines, Mississauga, Ontario.

[@tombelanger5489]

Thank You. Very informative. As always, great lighting, audio, etc.

[@xmanb8193]

Last I checked oil is cheaper than a motor👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@MDDIRECT]

I enjoyed this type of content, as well as the actual engine swap

[@tomg721]

Something as simple as checking the oil can save you $$$$

[@rufusmedrano2962]

Tear downs are cool and interesting

[@charlesrose7212]

Great video, Don. Thanks! 😀

[@vetterfellow]

Excellent Video DB73, Thank you.👍

[@adanvaldcontreras4283]

My same briggs just blew up... breaks and scrap em... great video. More rear down videos. 👍

[@CivilDefenceCanada]

Love watching these types of videos. Can you do one on some common engines like Honda?

[@michelboisvert5684]

hi mister professional, i love the way your videos are made, all is clear the explanations are clear the size of the keys, well all is PERFECT, BRAVO BRAVO, BRAVO, you are great, bravo again, keep up the good work

[@daveeastwood5768]

Awesome video thanks again, 20 to 30 mins well worth my time.

[@Mudcat597]

Nice work Dony! Thanks for sharing.

[@blairk573]

Definately more tear down. Information is great

[@bobbykopas5358]

The cheapness of the piston was eye opening!

[@HenkElzinga]

A nice educational video and well explained, thank you for this.

[@dzedays6533]

Great video. Teardowns help to understand how the different engines are put together. Great details and insight of the obscure little parts that many other videos skip over. Subscribed!

[@leelarson2655]

I enjoy your videos I could like longer videos

[@walterbeaver6365]

Great video. Very informative. Appreciate the tear down. Instrumental in my understanding of parts to save. Your advice is very good. Enjoyed watching. Thankyou Sir.

[@steveharleyfan]

And that, guys and girls, is why you should check your oil.

[@williameichhorn2686]

Thank you very much Dony For the video very interesting if you like to do more it would be very good for everyone thank you very much again

[@jimdorsey1655]

Great video, teardown videos are the best!

[@petergaetan8826]

Love watching your engine change videos & your tear down videos 👍👌 And if they are longer thats also a bonus

[@barrypettit3668]

Great video Don. I hope you make more long videos. They are very informative, goes to show how important it is to check your oil level.

[@imacgst27]

Yes more teardowns and the long videos are great. Thank you for the good video!!

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good video buddy very helpful thanks for sharing

[@redeyedmongoose2963]

I found the teardown video to be very educational, it was great !

[@josephrich6014]

Wow, what a mess. Great video. Yes, do more of these. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardwernst]

A little JB Weld on that crack in the block and it'll be good as new... :) Yes, I really enjoy the teardown videos.

[@myhdsoftail03]

Oh Donny I can hear Taryl Jumping up and Down when you called using a pry bar and hammer to remove a flywheel the unprofessional way LOL

[@potbelliedolman8939]

Subscribed several weeks ago! Thanks for taking the time to do videos!!

[@robertwaid2965]

Yes, please do more tear down videos, and mentioning what parts u save, especially on push mowers, grass trimmer, snowblowers, etc. Also the longer videos are nice too!

[@rogercarrico4975]

That piston really surprised me! Never seen anything like that. That engine couldn't have much life in it. With the piston design like that!

[@donyboy73]

Great point!

[@jophillips2868]

Definitely liked watching the tear down and part's salvage videos.

[@steamboatwillie935]

Moral of the Story. Always check the Oil. Each & every time before running the Machine.

[@leeharris3061]

Yes please do more longer teardown videos..its interesting to see what happens inside ..hello from Minnesota 👍🏻🍻

[@donyboy73]

Will do! I have a blown lawnmower engine to teardown!

[@arpjoe]

Good video with information on value of spare parts

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

Great video, thanks for shearing

[@tc3603]

Fantastic informative well made video. Very enjoyable

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

I really enjoy the tear down / engine swap videos a lot. Please make more of them when u can mate😮

[@michaelchilders1658]

Found this very informative!!👍

[@deanmoore420]

Great video it’s a pretty good idea to save parts especially the way things are today. I do that all the time. Enjoy the video. Great job.👍

[@OB1974]

This was excellent. I learned a lot here.

[@timlawrence3264]

Very helpful!! Hello from Little Rock arkansas

[@VstoOnion]

Great video and thumbs up for longer ones!

[@dickcreamer6898]

You are the man I recently got a cub cadet rider with the famous kohler engine that has apparently seized. I now have a good reason to do some disassembly to see if the flywheel magnets maybe caused this lockup. You may have saved me a bunch of money for a new motor thanks I’ll keep you posted!

[@briankemp5206]

Definitely more teardown vids!

[@freecycling6687]

Thanks, this was a really informative, interesting video. Would love to see more of these!

[@fitch8363]

Excellent. Thanks!

[@rk22cc]

Yeah like this teardown

[@TheTronder007]

Allways interesting to see teardowns Don. I count myself lucky as I decided to check the oil level on our Husqvarna LT151 due to a leaky valve cover gasket, and it was way down, l guess the leaky valve cover gasket which I have now fixed had something to do with it as the engine ran/runs really well, I do pay much more attention to it now and check it regularly, just about before every mowing and will continue to do so even after having replaced the valve cover gasket, it's so easy to do, just lift the hood and take out the dipstick, takes no time to do at all.. And seeing what running an engine without enough oil can do then that minimum amount of time spent is time well spent.

[@anthonymarino4260]

I did the same thing when I was rebuilding starters and alternator. made a living for. 40 years

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Don. Boy rough looking. Thanks for showing. Boy I was just going to press "send" & u said about more tear down. Yes I would like thay if more do.

[@bobbelsekwol]

I've kept parts for many a mower and strimmer but to such a degree I've had to get rid of stuff. No one is interested in ebay for engine parts. And the most common bits that break you can't get second hand. The damage to the engine is immense when something let's go. And keeping usable parts is great if you've got the space. I haven't. Great video again.

[@philliphall5198]

It’s not that people don’t buy used parts it’s because you get a lot of junk and damage stuff

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Love these tear down videos,keep them coming Don ! ☃️👍👍

[@garrettstevensen2467]

I have never understood why, there aren't MORE teardown/rebuild videos, especially regarding 2 cycle engines (chainsaws, blowers, etc...) As mentioned, I would actually donate to see more teardown/rebuild videos, since these other repair videos are extremely common. Please make more of these videos! Thanks!

[@aj44ish]

Definitely more tear down vids.

[@MoparMagic360]

Another awesome video. Enjoy ur videos so much. U have helped me out on occasion.👍
