    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!

      OK
      CONCEPT 2 -
      CONCEPTIALLY UNDERSTANDING HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
      When you learn, You learn from
      MACRO (Most general level )
      to
      micro (Most specific level)
      Once you understand the concept of How to solve any problem
      You now pick an industry or situation in which to specifically apply those solutions.
      In this case SMALL ENGINE REPAIRS
      it's beneficial to know
      1. How a combustion Engine Works
      2. Pick a Machine that you like, whipper, blower, Hedger, lawnmower .. whatever...
      LEARN HOW IT WORKS
      Fundamentally.... these small engines are JUST ENGINES with a spinning drive line.
      and you can then (Theoretically) Attach what you want on the spinning drive line to have some functional work done
      The next step is to pick 1 Model
      - Download the Manual
      - RTFM (Read the Fucking manual) and absorb it (it was written for a reason)
      - if there is a SERVICE MANUAL.. Definitely download that
      - Obtain and Exploded diagram of the machine and see how everything connects
      - Obtain a complete parts list and learn what every part is responsible for doing.
      IN THE CASE OF A WHIPPER SNIPPER
      Here is what i would advise you to learn in this order.....
      TRY TO THINK LIKE AN ENGINEER HERE, OK (lets get a little technical )
      1. HOW DOES IT START
      it starts from the CONVERSION OF MANUAL MECHANICAL ENERGY (From your body, Your arm pulling on the starter cord) TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
      The purpose being.... Your Mechanical Energy (GENERATED BY THE FOOD THAT YOU EAT AND WATER THAT YOU DRINK.............SEE WHY THAT WAS IMPORTANT ??)
      Transfers into the Mechanical Mechanism (Which has an element of Leverage to it) that is supposed to Jump Start the engine
      2. WHEN DOES IT IGNITE (Jump Start) and continue on it's own.
      This where learning how a combustion engine works, is helpful in troubleshooting.
      Learn about the necessary Mixture of Fuel, Air and a Spark.
      Learn about the magnet that sends the electricity to the spark plug and How Alternating current works and how electrical induction works, (this will help you understand the magneto and the coil)
      2. WHAT KEEPS IT WORKING AND WHAT MAKES IT DIE OUT
      Again, learn how a combustion engine works and understand that after starting, Situations may change
      3. CAN IT BREATH
      Without Air, the mixture becomes unbalanced and there is no explosion to turn the piston. this is the part where you question
      Air, Filter, Fuel Filter, Exhaust Filter, Any other filter, Understand what each of the filters filter.
      4. Understand the importance of conductivity or lack of it and Removal of rust .
      Learn how to use an Angle Grinder with Wire brush to remove rust.
      5. Understand the importance of Lubrication and where it is not helpful
      6. UNDERSTAND... CLEAN IS BETTER
      so it's not about eliminating smallest problems first..
      IT'S ABOUT FOLLOWING A LOGICAL WALK THROUGH OF HOW THE THINGS RUNS
      SO LIKE THIS...
      - Visual Examination first
      - Smell Examination
      - You know how to solve a problem
      - You've established the customer input and their priorites, it won't run... fix it.
      - Pull the chord. Does it start, How does it sound
      -- is it turning the crank shaft and in turn the clutch and in turn the head ?
      - Check simplest and quickest things first
      -- Does the primer bulb have fuel in it
      -- is the primer bulb broken or cracked
      -- Can you pump it and cause fuel to circulate through the Carburettor
      -- is the carburettor dirty
      -- check the Air filter for condition, is it clogged ,wet or clean
      -- check the fuel filter if possible
      -- check Exhaust filter if possible
      -- How much rust does the machine have on it
      - Next, Take out the spark plug, Examine it's condition
      -- Test the resistance on the spark plug
      is it RESISTIVE or NON RESISTIVE (Look at the manual)
      Resistive should have up to 10k Ohm Resistance
      Non Resistive should have less than 1 Ohm Resistance
      Using the wrong one will cause your motor to overheat or not start
      - Look into the cylinder, Pull the starter cord, does the piston go up and down.
      if No... you have a crank shaft issue
      if yes
      - Look at the clutch, does pulling the starter cord cause the clutch to spin
      (it should)
      - does pulling the start cord cause the head to spin (it shouldn't)
      if it does, Check the clutch and the drum / Bell Housing, Changes are one of them is rusted and or broken or really dirty
      SO BASICS.....
      does the drive line turn when starter cord is pulled
      does the spark plug fire off a spark
      is the carburretor feeding fuel into the engine correctly
      Are all the filters unclogged
      is the clutch and drum working correctly, Engaging and disengaging when they should.
      does the switch work, does the accelerator trigger work
      does the shaft spin
      does the head spin
      is there line in the head
      does it cut the grass
      Ultimately when you fix a problem IT SHOULD ACHIEVE THE GOAL FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED FOR
      so you see, it's not about eliminating smallest problems first
      IT'S ABOUT... FOLLOW THE PATH OF MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE
      as if you were a little person (Let's say , Ant Man) and you were walking through the steps of how it all works and inspecting it
      If you approach a problem like that,
      You will end up fixing it
      Because when you know HOW TO FIX ANY PROBLEM
      then you understand HOW A SPECIFIC MACHINE COMPLETELY WORKS
      You can then follow the path of operation of the machine to see where it stops working,
      You then identify the problem
      and fix the problem
      THAT'S MY ADVICE TO YOU
      Understand it Mechanically
      Understand it Electrically
      Understand it Fundamentally
      THEN UNDERSTAND THIS.....
      These things are Engineered to a price point, which is why .......
      Most of them will work in a similar fashion to the others
      SOMETIMES THERE ARE JUST MINOR CHANGES THAT YOU NEED TO LEARN
      so there you go..... Move forward with that when you watch these videos
      YOUR'E WELCOME

    I'm 70yo, and come from a long line of mechanics; I've built many V8 engines and manual transmissions, and even aced a college-level small-gas engine course some years ago; but this project had me a bit stumped. I had to dive into my Wizard rider that conked out on me late last year - it just suddenly lost power and began backfiring, and I barely made it back to the garage. Fast forward a year, and I decided to take a look at it. This rider has the B&S Intek 17.0 engine. Thinking it may be a timing issue or valve problem, I went online and stumbled across a fellow with the same problem with the same engine on a TH-cam video, who found that it was actually a valve issue. Watching him take the valve cover off and describing what he encountered, a very loose rocker arm, and how he fixed it, convinced me to take a look. It took me three tries at adjusting the rocker clearances for both the exhaust and intake valves, because the exhaust valve just wouldn't take a lockdown and would just immediately come loose after pulling the feeler gage. Well, on the third attempt, I noticed that the rocker arm stand/riser was itself loose! I tightened it up, reset the clearance, buttoned it up . . . and it fired right up and ran just fine. I was really worried that it would be something worse, and I would have to take it to a repair shop. I've been repairing and maintaining my neighbor's Pony rider for the past few months, so it looks like I'll have to set myself up a small lawnmower repair shop soon, since I've been acquiring the necessary tools to take care of my own.

Just used one a friend bought to trim both properties I care for (total area 3 3/4 acres) seemed to do a great job even in 2 foot weeds on one properties area. After 3 hours of trimming.still had battery life available for use, which I thought was impressive. Other battery operated trimmers never last. Found myself wondering what you would think of it since you sell Echo equipment?

    You definitely saved time and frustration showing mistakes folks have made and how to avoid/correct them. 1st thing that I have learned from Bre is always check the gas first before doing anything!

    Love rainy days in my shop (personal shop in my backyard). I can go out there and basically just piddle around for hours. Mostly I use those days for either cleaning up or for maintenance (if needed).

  • @michaelquinby6633
    @michaelquinby6633 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Kind of off subject, but I was scanning through your past videos, and I saw the one about soaking your trimmer line in water. I tried that and the line never once broke. It used to break 3 or 4 times before I,d get done. Thanks for the tip!

  • @toddhowes7722
    @toddhowes7722 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    well past when you usually check on the comments, but this definitely helped with fixing my old hedge trimmer, same as the last one you did. I did the same thing, had the lines reversed filter vs return. Thanks!!😁

    A bit of advice from a aging man, I’ve spent my whole life setting things on the ground and working on them. Trust me, you need a solid table to set your equipment on while starting and adjusting on them! It will save your joints. Trust me on this! 😊

    I haven't worked all small motors much, my friend asked me if I can get her weed eater going I told her I could I order her a new carburetor that you suggested, she had replaced the lines but they were the wrong ones, the carburetor kit got here it had the new clear lines,big and small, so i replaced the new lines and put on the new carb, I started it up and it runs like a dream she told me I never thought you could do this, it made my whole day thank you for your advice God bless

    It has a pull start issue and hasn't been running for years. It should be fun to work on.
    Love your day in the shop videos. 👍👍

  • @markf8256

    Cool! I would have reasoned (incorrectly) that the return line would be the smaller line because of thinking that there is less to return because it is using some of it.

    Simply watching this was like spending the day shadowing you, while you provided all sorts of 'on the job training'
    And, as if that weren't awesome enough, you also managed to capture that All and then condense it down into only 20 mins of video?!? Outstanding!! 💐

    • @Chickanic
