My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I live in Arkansas were are you located.
Good job magic fingers. 👍
There’s a fine line between a hoarder and a repair shop.
Bernie Mac I saying the best looking mechanic I've ever seen and smart . I'm a big fan retired and working in my own backyard . God bless you my dear... And I'm your biggest fan...❤ 🐝 BizzyBee 🐝
As my wife of 41 years is fond of saying," It takes a little longer for old girls to warm up!".
Your subsciption costs... $3/month.
Forget algorithms, you get money!!!😮
You have saved me a lot of money and time. Keep it going
Your facial expressions once it started, ran and moved were priceless. That is why you are known as Chickanic. You are a chick that is a mechanic and not a parts changer. If it can be repaired, repair it. You don’t just change parts and hope that fixes the problem. You’re old school Bre! Great informative video.
Aw! Thanks!
@@Chickanic Yes there are parts changers and then there are Mechanics - Chickanic !
I have this mower but mine is a 97 model. I've repaired it a few times, even replaced the deck pan 8 or 10 years ago because I liked it so much. Three years ago it survived a garage fire but not well and it is ugly to look at. I fixed it enough to mow my lawn and ran it another two years because I couldn't see spending two to three thousand dollars to replace it. It still runs but has issues leaking oil and the transmission is now failing. So I bought another Craftsman from a friend that is only 17 years old. Great machines.
I have a salutation to the broken cam..
The concept of watching someone fix an old lawnmower sounds incredibly boring and yet I watched the whole thing and was entertained the entire time. Great job as always.
I totally get your comment on one thing after the other. My grandpa just bought this exact machine for $300. I’ve put new spindles, pulleys, fixed electrical issues…and things just keep going wrong.
WHO'S CHUCK? Somebody free him!!😂
Knowing how to fix small engines and lawnmower repair is a great side hustle. I love learning from your videos. I'm old and believe in fixing things as opposed to replacing them.
❤❤❤
The effects of the great depression never wear off. My parents and grandparents had been thru it and raised me that if all else fails and it can't be fixed, take it apart and save all the hardware and good parts and scrap the busted stuff, if you. COULDN'T torch weld it back together with a wire coat-hanger
Bre, you had $200.00 worth of LABOR into that carb.😮
Damn that's a good looking 30-year-old lawn tractor. You're right it was garage kept guaranteed😊
At least in a shed out of rain with periodic. Cleanups
Buddy had 3 of these from late 80to mid 90s. One wood get week so he went out bought new one...durable😊😊
I am 50 miles north of Indianapolis and I’d love love watching your videos I am a 65-year-old female I love working on my mowers
I used to live in Tipton.
I live in Muncie.
I have family in Indy & Lafayette. ❤
South bend here
@BG-vq9fd I have nieces and a nephew in Frankton
Just a Girl and her mower!😂🍻
The most INCREDIBLE CARB CLEANER i discovered BY ACCIDENT IS : GASKET REMOVER! "SPRAY" GASKET REMOVER!!! spray it through a carb and orifices ALL the varnish wrinkles and lifts in 3 seconds!! Then backflush the orifices with brake cleaner, and the rest and its ready for re assembly in 5 minutes!
IT'S ALIVE! Congratulations on you success thus far.
That Craftsman tractor was well cared for. What a beauty!
That Briggs engine was built in Milwaukee, WI. The Cylinder, Head, sump, and Crank were machined in Dept. 394. I was one of the Supervisors in that department we took much pride in machining those parts. I retired in 1997 they gave us older employees and offer we couldn't refuse.
Too cool!
While machining heads and block, you should have mentioned to design team…”hey!, we need another head bolt between cylinder and pushrod passage”🤷♂️😆
@@Chickanic... Are your starter drives actually Bendix brand, or are you just going with the name?
Waking up a dormant engine is a great feeling.
Love the revival
"You will pinch yourself" (voice of experience? LOL)
I have a 1999 craftsman with a 15.5 Kohler engine and it has been a great mower and it’s still mowing like she should the only thing I have replaced is the coil and two spark plugs that’s it and the 42” cut is still in working shape
I wouldn't be surprised if you get some California customers.
Wish I could make mountains of Cash doing this 😂
Keep repairing all that older gas equipment. As the electric mandates keep going forward, the old grandfathered gas stuff will keep going. To Boot!
First thing...spin that crankshaft to make sure its not locked down and check for spark....drop that varnished carb in some flouric acid mag and wire wheel cleaner...buy it by the gallon...soak it scrub it and hose it off with water...piano wire works great on jets...brake cleaner or lacquer thinner works better than crappy carb cleaner...spray clean carb w/ WD-40. Buy lacquer thinner in a 5 gallon container, WD-40 by the gallon...use quart bottle plastic sprayer. Saves TONS of money for your shop...Shop owner operator 38+ year auto master tech.
Genuine Cuban music . . . .NICE,
Maybe you can sell it back to your friends.
When not in use keep machines indoors i find that is one of the secrets to longevity 😊❤
And clean deck. Then ray light coat nwd. 40😊😊
There is absolutely no way she can do that
" It's Alive!"
I love your Channel. You are awesome
Tell those guys in the background to be quiet . There's a master at work lol
I bought a Craftsman rider about 30, 31 years ago, the old guy that bought it from me..well, his son is still using it.
Gasoline in engine oil, it used to be that a lot of airplanes that operated in the north had an oil dilution system. Before you shut down the engine, it would pump gasoline into the engine oil while idling, to thin the oil out. that made starting the next morning in the cold a lot easier. the gasoline would evaporate off pretty quickly as the engine warmed up.
Omg. Soo many!
There used to be chemicals available to really clean carbs. Key words used to be lol
If that motor has a governor it may be causing the loping.
Forest Gump would be proud of it 👍
I'm a long time mechanic and the best product for removing varnish and stubborn gunk from carburetors is genuine Subaru upper engine cleaner. I got lucky a few years ago and had a box of it given to me and I use it to de-carbon two & four stroke engine combustion chambers, carburetor cleaning and diesel engine inlet manifolds.
Chickanic, put on your Oakley saftey glasses.
It's the charge cards , have one at all big stores,
It is always a good idea to add a fuel shut off valve in the line between the filter and the fuel tank , it's insurance against fuel entering the sump and makes changing the filter easier .
Agree, and replace the entire fuel line. .after 30 years the inner fuel hose starts to deteriorate and will clog your filter(you DO have a filter..??) Ask me how I know...😊
i wish my shop would implement that 15yr rule. im constantly working on stuff from the 80's and taken apart and in a box. guess whos fixing there headache THIS GUY
I ALWAYS install a fuel shutoff valve on these riders! I've helped out multiple neighbors who had the crankcase full of gasoline due to the needle/seat not completely sealing and that secondary anti-backfire fuel cutoff solenoid also not sealing perfectly.
Yup! This one is definitely getting a shut off. As soon as I figure out where they are. lol
@@ChickanicHaving moved a little over a year ago, after being in the same house and garage for 25 years, I can relate to this! I just had to order some headlight bulbs for one of my cars, because I can't find the box of 20 or so of them that I have in the new garage . . . somewhere.
@@Chickanic *_It doesn't make sense to me that manufacturers do not install fuel shut off valves on brand new gas-powered small engine equipment. I assume it's the same reason why cell phone manufacturers sell new phones w/out protective cases already included: money/added profit?_*
Nice to see old machinery given a second chance, build quality was better then
When the music starts i know your about to really get to work.
thanks Bre i love this video.
Your Awesome thanks for the video
Cars and coffee!
Gratuitous comment intended to increase the algorithms.
Thank you!
A metal intake manifold in 1995. My 2007 Craftsman 46" has two pieces/sides some kind of plastic. My new OEM Briggs carb was $165 before tax and shipping, but it's on a 20HP. Briggs replaced the original Nikki with another PN/Model because of a history of issues with the Nikki. My PN/Model is the new one. There are differences, but it fits, secures and the controls are all the same and works great. Taking all that time on the carb paid off. Being 29 years old, it makes sense that the valves need to be adjusted. Check compression, too. That would be a good indicator.
Great job, Bre! 👍👍 And Congratulations!
Clean carbs by soaking overnight in Gunk Hydo Seal( it's reusable). Don't poke jets with welding tip cleaners. Use compressed air to blow out. Enjoyed this video!
My husvarna done that surging,I put in new battery,and it fixed it....I was jumping it off for couple years and battery was good enough,but this season I jumped it with jump box and it started surging,I left box on it for few and I noticed it was doing little better,so I went and replaced battery with new one and bam,fixed it...
My brothers wife's brother owns Blevins tinker shop , I work on mowers now and then when I can , Kool videos
Awesome video thank you for the video
Craftsman was awesome back then, now they are plastic.
Well done!!🍺🍺💪👍👍👍
Wd-40 works great cleaning and soaking
Color code the shelving so you can organize more😊😊
beautyfull video
25:00 FIRE IT UP! Fire it up! Oops, wrong channel
Bwahahahah!
Not sure it applies but some motorcycles need the whole airbox and filter installed to run well. Too lean without them.
All I could find online was a B&S Starter ring tool for $70. An entire starter is about half that.
Enjoyed your video
If you weren’t able to get that emulsion tube out, or the pilot jet cleared, it’s gonna surge.
clip can be easily put back in place with a little bit bigger socket and slam of hammer and no special tools needed :)
I always install a fuel shutoff valve on riding mowers with gravity flow fuel tanks,
before you start to take everything apart put the air cleaner on some carburetors need that little air resistance to work properly
historical bio needs updating
I had a carburetor that I couldn't get a screw out of. A friend soaked it in Pepsi and got it out.
Smart lady
I have used acetone to deal with varnish. You should be able to purchase it at a hardware store in various quantities. I like how you get animated when it goes according to plan and Thanks for the videos
Keepem running
Love your videos ❤
Those old Craftsman Mowers are little tanks
"Chickanic
I do love your Videos i lean a little each time i watch your Videos but we lean from one another to and I'm always on the lookout to see if the Chickanic makes a mistake and to say it nicely you are good but I'm waiting for it glad to see you excited i get that to when something go's right for me feel your experiences.
ps And most if not all love the Chickanic ♡ 🇦🇺
SAWEEET mower! Whoever originally owned it couldn't have used it much. If pay $500 for that mower, ever day!
My 35 year old craftsman finally bit the dust, transmission just plain wore out from pulling a trac.vac.
Nairlee dropped me beer ITS WORKIN WHEN THE NIPPLES COME ALL THE WAY OUT damn straight it is
cool beans Bre
I had a $15 knock off China carb on my 2006 Cub Cadet 46' and it was just junk. Wouldn't even start after a week. My original carb still ran good but started to leak all over the place from 16 years. New OEM carb was $135 so instead of dealing with rebuild kits and hoping for the best I spent the $135. Runs wonderful now. My mower is only worth $600 but money well spent still. I actually have 2 Cub's of the same model one is my backup and the previous owner sold it because it did that same engine surging deal. New carb, no more surging.
Hey there ya all..... Have you seen the Arkansas Chug-a-Bug, with Luke & Blubber Bear ????
Thanks
Excellent
Good Job!!!
Many Troubles Daily as Taryl always says 😁 That Backfire scared the crap out of me I wasnt ready for that 😁
You can order extra shelves for the Costco Shelve units.
Another good video
Well a fixed riding lawnmower ready for sale get all of fixed and sold cash for you new shop👍😎
Top job Bre
I grew up with a toro mower that lasted over 30 years. The mower finally died in 1980. My parents bought a craftsman then. It died in 1996, from the deck rotting out. I bought a Toro Recycler in 1996 that will still start within 3 pulls. It isn't used often as I now have a tractor, but I keep it in running order.
You’re awesome
There was a time in my life that a 30yo engine would have points. Time flies
Wallbro and nikki are interchangeable on those mowers. The wallbro is the best one and simpler my opinion.
Those clips on the starter are a b**ch without that tool. I have lost more than a couple going flying to parts unknown before I finally bought the tool. I don't use it that much but when I do I am thankful I bought it.
The term i tell my wife is that, "I'm a functioning hoarder".
Awesome video
