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.
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, 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 TH-cam and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on TH-cam to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Thanks Donyboy 73
I really appreciate your mild mannered personality.
Keep up the great work sir.
Thank you again Don. I’m trying to learn all I can about small engines and your videos never fail.👍👍
You are the best! Came across your vids when I had a short in my Craftsman tractor. You are a wealth of knowledge without the lame " acting" that a lot of others make the viewer go through. And your always spot on. Not just guessing like many others. Thank you!
I have some old 1950's small engines and we also have lawn care machines at home. These videos will come in handy. Thank you and thumbs up.
I always learn something from watching your channel. Thanks.
Thank you Don. You write straight with crooked lines. That means you always give me a new insight how to perform OPE testing a little better, quicker and good logic with inputs and outputs and what to check next.You're the best.
Great video. I always learn something new watching your videos. Of course, by following your videos on how to properly care for my equipment allows me to avoid a lot of the repairs you show in your other videos!!!!!
Thank you Don, for sharing your years knowledge with others I appreciate it- I'm learning that you just can't always clean and put a kit in a carburetor and it work properly- it also seems to make a difference to put back original equipment quality parts when repairing equipment and sometimes it's best to put a new part back in it as opposed to rebuilding the old one
That was a great video - really good to have this kind of general, fundamentals content. Works even if I don't have a Stihl chainsaw 😄
Very handy information, Great test equipment that we had decades ago.
Donyboy great educational video. Very helpful for a lot of people. Have a great day. God Bless!!!
As always, great video. Your tone and presentation is 👍👍
Your video's just keep getting better.
Thanks Don, love your tutorials, I have subscribed and look forward to all that you post, I have learnt so much that I have serviced all my small engines,, successfully, cheers and hello from Queensland

Thanks Don. You are the 2 stroke MAN
Excellent video. I may have to get a tester.
Great information! Thank you!
Thank you for this film, it has helped me further diagnose and repair my equipment🙏
Don’t as usual another good video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have a good one. 👍👍👍
That was a fantastic video, and VERY thorough...thx!
Smashing test :-D
It's too easy to forget testing information over the years if it's a once in a blue moon problem.
Lucky for us, a loverly chap called Don has made lots of help videos over the years :-D.
Thankyou for all your videos Don, the live version of the haynes workshop manual, with tricks and valuable tips :-D

Gracias por compartir. Hoy aprendí algo nuevo
XCLNT ! Another video to make me look smarter. Thanks! CM
Great video, thanks for sharing. Will help with keeping my tools in good working order.
I already removed, cleaned, and reinstalled the carburetor on my pressure washer with a Honda engine. Idling and throttle-up running like a charm now. Previously was having to manage the choke lever to get to run continuously. Main jet was clogged almost entirely.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making this video 👍🏽👍🏽
How's she goin'? Some great tips here Dony. Thanks a lot for sharing!!! Take care!!!
Thank you for this one.
Great job with that one my Canadian brother 😀 😀

Great video Donny 👍👍
Very very good video thanks you so much
Wow, a Tillotson carb on that Husqvarna. Haven't seen one of those classics in quite a while.
Good video as always
Great tips.
PR DESIGNS
This should be everyone's go to spot for information on small engines!
I have always found the info and processes I needed for keeping my engines running properly. Donny Boy is concise and obviously knows his stuff....NO bull**** from him!!!
I do have a question I was hoping someone could help me answer though......I have a Walbro off of a 031 and a Tillotson off of a 041. I have put complete rebuild kits in both and no matter what I do I get a leak down on the pump side. I know the needle/seat are good as I have tested it with that side open under water and the seat doesn't bubble.
is there a tip for sealing up those flexible valves and gaskets on the pump side even with all new parts??
Should i just try running it before buying new carbs??
Thanks DonnyBoy and anyone else who can help
Great video.
Thank you. Thank you.
Dony, be sure to add the info about diapham flexability and post height- it can bleed off pressure because it will depress the lever. Make sure the lever arm is at proper height in relation to the carb body
GREAT ILLUSTRATION! THANKS
Glad you liked it!
The power of knowledge.
Dony, you have the best videos on TH-cam! Good timing as I was considering this kind of pressure tester vs the Mityvac MIT8500. I just ordered the Mityvac because I believe I can use it for bleeding the brakes on my ATV. Can you confirm I can use the Mityvac to do these tests in your video as well. I have seen other vids so I'm pretty sure I can.
yes u can
Thank-you sir good infarction
We also do a vacuum test and it indicates if check valves are working, should hold pressure and vacuum if not carb should be replaced not rebuilt
Very informative. Thank you. Just rebuilt a HDC 44 on a Homelite Super E-Z. Leaks around the gaskets and won't hold any pressure. So far I've been unable to locate another carb.
Nice video. I have many engines with different cc's, 50cc rc engine, 70cc hacksaw, 20cc and others most with Walbro Carbs. How I know or calculate the right pressure for each engine/carburetors?
Very very useful information how I can test carburettor without tester
Great video, which pressure tester do you think is best?
Hey Don thanks for VIDEO on pressure testing 2 cycle carburetors. I have a
BVM200VS poulan pro leaf blower. Installed new carburetor can't get it run. Have any suggestions.
Great stuff
Olá gostei do seu vídeo, onde posso adquirir uma ferramenta como essa?
Great tip. Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦😎
Donyboy; have Husq 266 with Tillotson hs254b. My tester shows inHg and mmHg. Any idea on what the 7 psi should be on my tester? Also, what does it mean if the pressure test goes up, then very slowly goes down and settles to a spot, then stays there with no further decrease?
excellent information and ty for explaaining 100--100 video !! BTW were did you buy thid pump, or where did you buy the pieces to make this pump, excellent ty
thank you for making one of the most informative videos on YT. across all ive looked for this video of yours certainly is the best. i work on husky 61 aswell, im a hire shop repair tech. learnt alot from your Vidz. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
dony..thanks for all the great info but as a rookie I have a question. Is there a rule of thumb as to how to identify the intake from the impulse ?
Great videos,where can I get a pressure and vacuum gauge like the one u have?
Great video thx for sharing. Can I get the part # for brass hose adaptor that you have hooked up to use with different size fuel lines. I’ve never seen that particular one Thx
Very nice
Brilliant👍👍👍
Solid video
thanks
Thanks It what theydo with car engines but with smoke. Can you do that here too? I have done almost everything but still can not get it running. I have sprayed into the channels, changed the diagphram but not the gaskets because it looked good. It is also good to look over the other externely gaskets after the carburator into the combustion chamber. Any leaks will be disastres to the mashine. Look all the way.
What purpose does that hole on the carb cover plate serve? Will a Mityvac that has a pressure pump feature work the same as the pump you are using?
I preprime them and then test, it just takes a second to do it 😊
Thank You Don for the valuable information.
Can you please give more information on the Tool that is being used and where to buy
I have a 280 cc 2 stroke engine with a Walbro WB Carb. The carb on the unit came with a PSI popoff pressure of 11 PSI. The company says the pop-off pressure should be 17-19 PSI. How do you calibrate the Popoff pressure making it 17-19 PSI. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hey Don, so what do you do when you have a two-cycle carb with a primer and it passed all leak tests but will not pull fuel when priming?
Very good demonstration in the fundamental testing of the carbs. I have one on an Echo weedeater that I rebuilt the carb with a kit but cannot get it to idle correctly. I have to run the idle speed screw all the way in and it barely idles. And it is hard to get it to rev up to high speed without it bogging a lot, regardless of how I adjust the mixture screws. Any ideas?
Assuming you dont have air leaks in the crankcase, try running it without the muffler. If it runs fine check muffler/spark arrestor screen to see if its plugged up.
Trying to get vintage poulan running it's a s25cva counter vibe do you know how I can get new carb can find one due to its age
You have a video that covers the check valves throughout these carbs?
Does this apply to motorcycle carbs too?
How we change the pop-off pressure on walbro carbs?
Great vid. Looking for a replacement carb for a 1975 lawnboy, any suggestions?
check ebay
hello if i squirt brake cleaner in the fuel entry point it comes straight out the return pipe part is my needle not seated ?
Do you have a link to that pressure tester?
Hi how can i make one of those pressure tester or where can i buy one. Thank you for the information you share
Would this test work on a fuel pump?
Do you have the part number for the pressure tester.
Hi Dony, excellent vid' from you as always, but, you don't test the pop-off pressure? Isn't it an important thing to check with those testers?
I've learned on an rc website that it should be at 0.8bar
Hi from France
Hello sir! I got a stihl 015l chainsaw. Rebuilt carburetor however it turns s on stays on with throttle. H is all the was down but when I start to open it chainsaw turns off. Any ideas.
Is there a way to test primer when primer is exterior to the carb so primer has line to carb and line to tank return.
Where did you get that tester?
Larry
Sometimes just a small adjustment of the needle valve lever is all it takes to get that weedeater running again. Pry it up ever so slightly and make sure needle valve moves freely and try again.
@donyboy73 what if the pressure drops over minutes?
Don,
Is there a way to test the diaphragm? I see that you only checked the fuel side, but what about the impulse side into the diaphragm?
