Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) 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, 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 Youtube and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

ALWAYS USE HIGH OCTANE FUEL WITH NO ETHANOL TO PREVENT DAMAGE AND COSTLY CARBURETOR REPAIRS ON YOUR OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT!

[moosenmobile]

went to a small engine mechanic to get the weed eater fixed before i found this video. wanted to charge me $110.00 to fix it without even looking at it. so glad you posted this video. turned the screw a quarter turn and it fired right up and kept running! thank you again!

[Firecodeman]

11 years later and this video helped me tremendously. Just tuned up a weed eater I got for free (same exact one as the one in the video actually) with a new carb, spark plug, and fuel lines (old ones were so dry-rotted that they broke off). Needless to say, I was excited it started but bummed it would bog and die while running fully gassed. It did feel like it wasn’t getting enough gas on demand. Thank you for your video.

Another great useful video. Your camera work is great. You talk clearly and slowly.
You're the best on youtube.

[stephenwalker]

I am the least mechanically inclined chap there is. I have followed your video's and am happy to report that your clear instructions have allowed me to fix my weedeater and my snowblower too! Thanks !!! (I am a subscriber by the way!)

[TheSaneRider]

Thanks a million dude! I got a free weed whipper that ran just like this one. Adjusted the screws and now runs like new!!!

[vinceski]

donyboy fixed all my machines with your videos fixed my snowblower for about a $100. repair shop told me thay take it off my hands!! changed carb and drive belts,  Lol Now Iam off to fix my weedeater thanks Again Vince from ny (albany)

And good tip on the dremel tool. The thinnest cutting wheel not only sliced neatly through the center of the screw so it could be adjusted with a flathead, it provided a guide sliced into the outer aluminum housing so you can tell how far you turn the screw within 180 degrees.

In the case of the Sears Craftsman unit, the high throttle adjustment was opposite yours but it took all of a few seconds and ½ turn to figure that out.

You gotta love when a video has no thumbs down and all up. This video was a great help. outstanding 10 years later !

[BernhardHofmann]

I really enjoy your videos. They're very clear and simple. For a non-mechanic like me, you seem to have a magical touch with motors which is great to watch.

[golowcost]

I followed your instructions, replaced fuel lines as you showed in another video, and finally got my weed-eater to stay running after years of storage in my shed due to not working. Thanks to you I also learned how to get my riding lawn mower going a few years ago, and then again a couple of months ago due to a new issue. Take care...

[AlStaysHome]

Thank you very much! Once more, my wife and kids believe I am a mechanical genius. LOL Sincerely, thank you again.

[DarienLanctot]

This guy has a fix for every problem you could ever have

[fabiankalili]

Thanks for this video! It came in just in time to make my adjustment on my weed eater rig. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

[jimorrico]

You have the best video on this issue! I have a Ryobi SS26 that's out of warranty,
but is configured the same as your machine.
 I just notched a groove with a dremel & was able to back the left packman screw
a quarter turn counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver, throttles up & runs perfectly! I couldn't justify buying that tool on a throw away item, or paying a shop
on a repair that would cost almost as much as a brand new machine!
If it's still under warranty you may not want to do the dremel hack & void the waranty

[ducdao]

Thanks.  I just turned a haft turn on right and it works for me.  I used a plier and it worked.  Simple but it helpful video.   You saved us lot of time and money.

[michaelfreitag]

seriously, took 30 seconds and worked like a champs immediately.  Thanks you saved me 100 plus bucks

[mikeholden]

Great video! I can definitely appreciate the information you have provided and the time you took to provide it. Thank you for identifying the screws and their function. Saving me spending always gets thumbs up man. :)

[ARMYtango]

Donyboy73, You are the man!
Over the last couple of years, I have been given, or purchased, non working lawn equipment to repair and resell over the winter when my lawn business is dormant. For the most part, I can get them back up to speed myself, but for those pesky problems that I just can't figure out, your videos have helped immensely!
Thank you for all that you do, and please keep up the great work!

[Emblurr]

Another happy viewer right here. Just bought a weed eater leaf blower, boggin down pretty much out of the box. Half a turn on the L screw and bam, pissin my neighbors off at 10pm while I blow my garage clean..

Thank you sir, that's why i'm subscribed.

Question, in your Chainsaw that bogs down video you adjusted the high speed, can you explain why you turned the low speed screw for this situtation?
