Sometimes a U sounds like a U and NOT double O. So far you’ve mispronounced Stihl, McCulloch, Husqvarna and possibly others but you do look great in those Echo chaps. :D bloody Americans :D
Love watching you. Anytime I have a problem videos. You helped me figure out why my echo weed eater had no power. Turned out to be a stopped up exhaust screen. Just like you said.
Awesome videos my Dear!! Thanks so much for your help. I’ve been into repairing small engines for many, many years, 45 odd years…but have always done so on my own. So to see ideas, advice from someone else, someone with the knowledge and the expertise such as yourself is absolutely fantastic. Cheers…from Winnipeg.
I came across your video's searching how to fix my cub cadet wheeled trimmer. I am 61 yrs old, on a fixed budget and trying to fix my yard machines, I took a small engine class like 40 yrs ago but still remember some of the repaired stuff and I tell you, your video's have taught me so much, so thank you very much. Now all I need to do is collect/buy the tools I need to actually fix them. I have and continue to watch and learn from you. You are the best when it comes to showing and explaining how to fix things. Again thank you. Rita
What makes a good mechanic? You are a good example of a good mechanic! My personal belief is that 50% of being a good mechanic is PERSEVERANCE (STEADFASTNESS)never stop until you determine all the factors that make a correct decision to stop or fix.
When reving the engine you remained bent over, man, my back just started aching watching you. At my age that's a game changer! As always thanks for the insight and sharing of so much useful information! Respectfully Paul R in TX.
Good morning Bre, you're going to soil your nice Stevie Nicks Tee shirt. I watched that movie sling blade in 1996 when it first came out. RIP John Ritter. Always enjoy your videos. Glad to see you are back on the repairs. Greetings from sunny Myrtle Beach SC.
For flushing fuel tanks, I empty them as much as possible, spray a couple seconds of carb cleaner, close it up and shake it around, dump it, and then take my air gun and blow in it while it's upside down. Comes out as clean as new.
Love your channel! I work at our rural dump and get so many small engines, saws trimmers blowers, they all work with a little TLC, there are no small shops that repair like yours in our area so people pitch and replace.
You are expert and thorough in all your videos and I like the fact that you give the links to where we can get the tools you use . Keep up ythr good work and keep the videos coming!
I've watched you (and have learned from you) for a while now. This format of "daily diagnosing" is my favorite! I especially appreciated the reality of the "fails". Makes me feel better that I just can't get that one piece of equipment to work right. This format should be one you do at least monthly. I grabbed a cup of yogurt, and relaxed during wind down for the night. LOVED IT!!!
I am fascinated when I watch your videos. When younger I wanted to learn more about motors but did the mom thing alone which didn't allow me free time to try it. Seeing you diagnose such a variety of machines is very entertaining to me.
Good Morning Bre! Looks like you having fun lol and the way you get them plugs out I wouldn't want to see ya mad .... Have a great day and Thanks again.
Have you ever thought about building a chain saw starting station? Sounds silly but I built one that basically holds my chain saw down while I pull the rope instead of me putting my foot on it. I have one saw that I have to depress the trigger ever so slightly to get it to start and I dont have enough limbs to step on it, hold the handle and pull the cord. Its a half inch board I weather proofed and a piece of hard plastic that I slip the bottom of my chain saw handle into. It holds it secure to the ground with no movement. Love your content. You have helped me fix two of my saws in the past.
@@scottreynolds1984yes and no. It’s also up to the mechanic if they want take to time to work on it. When you have tons of customers it’s not really great to spend a ton of time on one thing. Especially a 40 year old machine that you may not be able to find parts for.
@@scottreynolds1984well, we don’t know if the customer had already said how much to spend on it. Some of those saws would only be worth $300 in good running shape. Parts for the bad cylinder and piston saw would be $200 for oem if you could find it. Autotune saws are a PITA for small shops to deal with so that’s understandable. She doesn’t have unlimited time to track down penny ante problems in the busy season.
@@JoeGraves24 so the easy jobs get done first to hard baskit customers have to wait till it suits her , i wouldnt be waiting around for her id go else where , thats called looking after her self not the customer interests stiff if they use saws for there buisness , and cant make money
So pleased business is going really well for all of you. It must of been a huge decision moving out of the old shop. I'm relieved I have the opportunity to learn more from you. Every video is a school day.🇬🇧🏴
I've been looking for an older lawnmower that doesn't have all the crap i don't need on it or in the engine that breaks easy. u know find a lil 38" and rebuild the engine and pully system, a miner rebuild. i had a craftsman from the mid 90s i should have never gotten rid of. only one safety off on the seat, and that was disconnected by me. lol. i like how u just tell it like it is, no BS. like it should be, thank u for your time.
My friend has a 028 sthil and I fixed it up cleaned it out pulled the tank filter and popped a new plug in clean the air filter ran a abit of seafoam in the tank and she ran like a boss
That's exactly what she said. I'm sure if the customer wants to pay the labor charges for that, she'd be happy to do it. It's still a gamble on both sides that sealing is all it needs.
You talk about your spring weather. Here in VT we got 3" last night and starting Friday night, 5-10". Just about a week ago I had all my outdoor equipment out and our snow was almost gone!!! Happy Spring.
Did you every hear the old one "I just love work.......I could watch it all day! ha ha. No one can say you do not earn your money. You must be pretty tired at the end of a "normal day". Love the efficiency that you have tools and parts within reach.
From cowboy1: Have learned much from you. On the ranch, we used a paste on a stick to see if water was in diesel fuel. If water was present, the paste turned a different color.
Bree- a mud flap could be your best friend 😂 Unlike gravel or concrete it is easier on both you and the saw, lasts forever, and won’t scratch the plastic or kill the chain if you have a whoopsie 😮 😊
At first I went to your videos totally for help fixing my Deere 100 series and my Son-in-Law's. Today I checked in because I wanted to see how you diagnosed problems with small engines- especially chain saws. Your experience and skill was shining as per usual, and you never disappoint with at least a couple of good laughs too! It's not just instructive- you are entertaining too. I think this video is the best I've seen so far due to the systematic unraveling of the machine's issues and fixing them. I have got to get an endoscope and that remote tach too! So much fun and valuable tips are present here . I've got a TON of respect for you as a PRO-TECH! George in Scituate, MA
watched a video where they had a problem with the vent port for fuel pressure that was plugged up from the factory. He had to drill it out. The saw would start, but wouldn't stay running. After he did that, it ran fine. Love your videos!!
This comment is a lot more important than you think. The wildland fire service has been plagued with "geysering" problems. I'll spare you the details but this vent seems to be the elusive common denominator. Nice catch on that.
Thank you for the very informative videos,I watch some of the other repair videos that feature men mechanics and they are helpful, but you break everything down and make the solution clearer for me to understand.Please keep up the good work.
I bought a oh 29 steel back in about 1995 out of a pawnshop in White center in Seattle and I’ve been using it ever cents runs good now I use Amsoil two-stroke oil and it still runs very good
I have a Husq. Med. Duty Saw that I bought new over 32 years ago, it has probably cut two semi loads of wood, has never failed me. I have replaced couple bars and countless chains and don't ever remember replacing spark plug. I keep Fuel Stabilizer in it, just used it the other day, 2nd. pull and it started like it always does. Don't know if Newer Ones are made as good as this one but this Chainsaw has been a Testament to Husq. Quality...
I really enjoy your videos, they are cery entertaining and also contain so much information. I've successfully used your "how to" informative vids to repair items at my home. I also greatly appreciated the included bit about "Slingblade" and the video taken in the restaurant! Continue your wonderful vids and i'm praying that your husband and yourself be well and healthy. 😊
I enjoy watching your videos and learning. You make it look easy. The Stevie Nicks concert was great! I saw her down here in Arlington, TX, this year. I'm glad you are a fan of hers.
I take it from the noise that you have an upstairs in the building. My son bought me one of those scopes for Christmas year before last. I've only used it one time and that was to look up the pipe for my wood stove. Pretty neat!
I used to do this type of work on the side of my regular job and pretty quickly I found out how many people needed work done. I used to pick up mowers left by the road and take them home to work on them. I can’t tell you how many people hit something solid and sheared the aluminum key off the flywheel. New key and away we go. Some of those mowers were brand new. I was selling them pretty cheaply and the next thing you know I have a wad of cash in my hand. Chainsaws were my specialty because I loved two strokes. I used to go to police auctions and pick up old saws. They usually sat in the property room for a long time before they sold them, so they needed new fuel lines and carb cleaned. Those criminals will steal anything they can get their hands on.
The not worth fixing - too old, take too much time, or parts aren’t available is a common thread in ANY repair facility. I have a computer repair business and it works exactly the same way. Some days you fix it all with minimal effort. Others you turn all of it away because you can’t fix it within a reasonable result. Either time, money, or availability. Enjoyable content and great reasoning on your part. Keep it up.
Interesting episode, I own a 372 XP saw, it also has a pressure relief button on it for starting, but seems to have the identical carb problem!!, when I get it running good it works good, but when it starts stalling out??😮
Awesome video as always. I love the ms290 saws. I'd like to have that one that's blown up looking for one now to rebuild and do a 390 cylinder swap on. Just a nice all around light saw that with a few mods on will dependably cut firewood all day and do it fairly quickly. When I start on my wood pile I like to have 3-4 saws lined up when one runs out of gas grab another and keep bucking. At the end of the day sharpen blow them off and fill them up and do it all again the next day until I'm done. Cheaper saws to find being older and easy to get parts for. I picked my second one up for $125 and replaced muffler and chain brake with aftermarket parts and had less than $200 in it. Well worth the time and money.
Well, !, number one you should check is compression. and with your experience, you already feel how the motor rotated. You can almost surely say, it has compression or not . But by the book the troubleshooting starts with compression and not the search for water or scars in the cylinder walls.
married w small engines does the gas, check down the cylinder, and is fast at checking to see if there is a gas line leak, vent, and crank is air tight, does it all pretty quick
Just want to say thank you for the tip on the Mantis. Went out and got a great deal on an old ugly one that does just beautifully on my front yard 2,000 sq ft Took me a day but saved my arms and back. Thanks for your full hearted endorsement of these great mighty mites. Mantis 2 stroke👌👍🏻💪
You need a tree knocking over? Right-ho, I’ll just go and fetch the big HOOOOOSKY. Said nobody, ever. Not once. You lot and your pronunciations :) :) Hey, I’m just playing, I’ve learn so much about two stroke engines since watching your vids, a big thank you!
Wonder how the heck she keeps her hands so clean! Whenever I work on any kind of machine, my hands are filthy dirty almost immediately! LOL Lots of fun, and informative to watch. Always like to watch experts doing their thing.
Such knowledge you have....I know you do this for a living and you're super great at it.....just keep it up and I'll keep watching......I'm learning stuff here....lol and thank you
Im get my equipment ready for spring cleanups as i watch these video's, i been fixing stuff for a living for a long time and i still have learned alot from your channel. Thank you.

So I have an opinion, that you dislike these E tronic, auto tune saws
Sometimes a U sounds like a U and NOT double O. So far you’ve mispronounced Stihl, McCulloch, Husqvarna and possibly others but you do look great in those Echo chaps. :D bloody Americans :D
Love watching you. Anytime I have a problem videos. You helped me figure out why my echo weed eater had no power. Turned out to be a stopped up exhaust screen. Just like you said.
How do you remove the debris from the bottom of the tank ? 4:38
Awesome videos my Dear!! Thanks so much for your help. I’ve been into repairing small engines for many, many years, 45 odd years…but have always done so on my own. So to see ideas, advice from someone else, someone with the knowledge and the expertise such as yourself is absolutely fantastic. Cheers…from Winnipeg.
I have worked on small engines of my own for 60 years, I learn something every time I watch, Thanks
Me too.
...and me!
Thanks Mark!

Sitting here with a coffee, snowed in, (!) and watching Chickanic. Doesn't get any better. Thanks, Bre!! 😃
Yes sir that's what I was just doing drinking coffee and watching
When reving the engine you remained bent over, man, my back just started aching watching you. At my age that's a game changer! As always thanks for the insight and sharing of so much useful information! Respectfully Paul R in TX.
Just got home from work and can have my lunch with Chickanic. Good day!
I love this I worked in a mower shop for seven years and this was a normal day
I know very little about small engines, so I find your channel fascinating. You have a great way of presenting and explaining. Thanks.
You learn by tinkering
SO GLAD UR BACK UP N GOIN .....I HAVE SO MUCH 2 STROKE STUFF TO LEARN
Good morning Bre, you're going to soil your nice Stevie Nicks Tee shirt. I watched that movie sling blade in 1996 when it first came out. RIP John Ritter. Always enjoy your videos. Glad to see you are back on the repairs. Greetings from sunny Myrtle Beach SC.
For flushing fuel tanks, I empty them as much as possible, spray a couple seconds of carb cleaner, close it up and shake it around, dump it, and then take my air gun and blow in it while it's upside down. Comes out as clean as new.
Serious question - what do you do with the old gas you dumped out of the fuel tank?
Carby cleaner can be a bit rough on O rings and stuff like that. It can end up creating more issues than it solves if it gets into the carby.
Love your channel! I work at our rural dump and get so many small engines, saws trimmers blowers, they all work with a little TLC, there are no small shops that repair like yours in our area so people pitch and replace.

So good to see you in your new and beautifully organised space, Bre 😊👍 Chickanic is "reborn" 👍
I can't wait to show you the whole place!
@@Chickanicme either. OH how I wish that I could still come to your place to do business…but such is life I guess.😢
She really knows how to work the bugs out! That was so funny when that bug ran out of the chainsaw. You're such a brave lady! 😅😂😅😂😅😂
Stevie Nicks fan!!! I guess we all fall into that category.

2 out of 6 repaired not good odds, and not good for customer confidence , isnt it up to the customer if they want there 40 year old saw repaied
I had to do the same because my boot doesn't fit in the handle of my Husky 372. Using a spring clamp on the throttle also helps sometimes.
@@scottreynolds1984yes and no. It’s also up to the mechanic if they want take to time to work on it. When you have tons of customers it’s not really great to spend a ton of time on one thing. Especially a 40 year old machine that you may not be able to find parts for.

Welcome to the spring Rush on getting All of your customers small engine equipment fixed up and running again Bre
That great 40+ year old Stihl 045 needs pressure tested to find the air leak(s) then replace faulty gaskets, intake boot or crank seals.
That's exactly what she said. I'm sure if the customer wants to pay the labor charges for that, she'd be happy to do it. It's still a gamble on both sides that sealing is all it needs.
great segment. good to see the thought process and repair procedures.
I keep coming to this channel over and over again
I came across your videos the other night and wow just amazing knowledge you have. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for this day in the shop Bre! Learned some thing new!

I enjoy watching your videos and learning. You make it look easy.
The Stevie Nicks concert was great! I saw her down here in Arlington, TX, this year. I'm glad you are a fan of hers.
Interesting video, thanks. Would love to see a similar video specifically on string trimmers, maybe another on walk behind mowers.
very good and happy new shirt
U rock gurl....that, from a 65 year old goat. Attractive physically, mentally, spiritually. Honest to a fault, shared.
Thank You for your service and helping with good ideas
Just found this channel, so good. Love the step by step diagnostics - super helpful when learning! Thank you!
Bre you are a tonic, great content as usual
Had me laughing out loud when the roach popped out of the chainsaw. Love your work, Mike from Montreal.
I take it from the noise that you have an upstairs in the building. My son bought me one of those scopes for Christmas year before last. I've only used it one time and that was to look up the pipe for my wood stove. Pretty neat!
👍👍 2 thumbs up for the shirt! 🤗😁 ... I lol'd with the second saw! 🤣
Love this. More Diagnosing and Fixing video's please!
I used to do this type of work on the side of my regular job and pretty quickly I found out how many people needed work done.

I have an 029 from the early '90's. It's one excellent saw! It's about 34 years old now and I'm sure it will outlast my physical ability to use it.
Me too
I feel that exact same way with my 71cc 372XP Xtork saw. But what I DO know is that dull chains kill a TON of saws.
Just love the pink lovey gluvies
I have an 026 Stihl I bought 30 yrs ago used for 100$! Man that has been a good saw! Only one time have I 😊failed to crank it!
....as always, great video....lots of information... every community college needs a set of courses that follow your videos...
Lol worked the bug out of one . Great tip’s thanks now to choose a 42” zero turn
Holy Crow!!! Auto Tune? Who'd of thunk it, computerized chain saws. That 045 deserves to be kept alive. Nice vids!
Loved it - most impressed especially with starting pulls. After the number you did with this lot I'd need a day off.
Awesome video as always. I love the ms290 saws. I'd like to have that one that's blown up looking for one now to rebuild and do a 390 cylinder swap on.

Took me a day but saved my arms and back. Thanks for your full hearted endorsement of these great mighty mites. Mantis 2 stroke👌👍🏻💪
You need a tree knocking over? Right-ho, I’ll just go and fetch the big HOOOOOSKY.
Said nobody, ever. Not once.
You lot and your pronunciations :) :) Hey, I’m just playing, I’ve learn so much about two stroke engines since watching your vids, a big thank you!
Wonder how the heck she keeps her hands so clean! Whenever I work on any kind of machine, my hands are filthy dirty almost immediately! LOL Lots of fun, and informative to watch. Always like to watch experts doing their thing.
