Thank you for the video, I was watching to see how to do the fuel filters as I’ve never replaced one of those. Looks like it couldn’t be easier. For anyone watching in the future, it would be best to clean the air filter area prior to removing the air filter, and use a mild detergent such as simple green or even glass cleaner in Lou of the brake cleaner or carburetor cleaner that is seen here. Both of those types of products in some forms can attack the plastic parts rendering them unserviceable. It’s best not to run the risk of guessing which brand won’t eat through your parts, err on the safe side. Also, don’t “sometimes“ use anti-seize on spark plug threads, always do. It’s also a good idea to use some dielectric grease on the spark plug boot. Also, there’s absolutely no reason to put these in with your fingers, use the socket with the rubber boot inside to hold the spark plug in place and thread it into the hole, that’s what it’s made for. You should not use POWER TOOLS to start the threads on a spark plug, but there’s no more or less risk of cross threading using a socket than your fingers. The socket simply makes the job easier. You should ALWAYS clean out the area the spark plug is in prior to removing the spark plug to make sure dirt and debris don’t get into your engine and ruin it. For those asking about the spark plugs socket size, he clearly said it was 5/8, when he later mentioned 3/8 he was obviously talking about the size of the ratchet head, not the socket. Use your head, people. The only size spark plug that might possibly use a 3/8 head is a glow plug on an RC engine. Give me a break. Thanks again for the video.

Very helpful and thank you for posting this
Thank you very much for your help. Very thoughtful video.
My favorite blower is the Stihl sh86c blower.
For my education, I'm curious as to what do you like about it? Curious as to what makes it better than other Stihl blowers.
Thanks, I forgot how to replace the filter retainer.
Thanks :)
