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!

Ha! I bought one of those 3 packs of bulbs to replace a bulb on my string trimmer and my next door neighbor needed a bulb for his mower and one of the remaining two fit his mower. That's a win in my book.

Found an old mower on the property I bought and the primer bulb was totally rotted away so I didn't know if it had a hole, or not. Luckily the mower shop I brought the remains to(including the metal retaining ring) could identify which one I needed by looking at a picture I took of the motor and get me the correct one. It was one with a hole, and it worked. Still cannot figure how those ones with holes work, but it does...

Saved "short sucks long blows" as a note on my iphone. Thanks.

She just puts her youtube award in the top of her toolbox, where it could get damaged rather than hanging it on the wall.

My inner middle school mind was going crazy with one-liners.😅 Thanks for the tips and laughs.

[donaldross]

Thanks again for great video's. As a retired mechanic I did not understand how the primer bulb worked. I thought it pushed the gas to the carburetor, not pulled it to the carburetor. Now get back to work SPRING IS COMING. Don

Great video part and great straight forward explanations without fluff. I have to resort to net for all sorts of gear repair so have watched zillions of videos over the years. Your video ranks right up there with some of the best I've seen in terms of clarity, easy to understand and some helpful get it right information. Thank you.

[Vettevelocitygsc]

You’re awesome. You don’t hold anything back and you’re completely honest. That’s the way it should be when you have your own business. Lying and scamming people will get you no where. Thank you for your time and most of all, thank you for being genuine.

[kenrowell]

I really like this channel. Even when I see titles that don't particularly appeal to my needs, I watch anyway. It's amazing the large and small things I can pick up from the presentation. Please....keep up the good work.

[radiofhi]

Another awesome video on Stihl equipment. It helped me refurb my '55 weed eater. Thanks!

[johnchristie]

There was a lot of effort going into making this one....many a thank-you . one out of 3 thumbs up is good

[alanflor]

I replaced the one on my mower a couple of years ago. It wasn't cracked and it still worked...sorta. It was 30 years old and just lost all its stiffness. New one works great!

[donnyarmstrong]

Thank you again for all that you provide to all of us out here on the frontier!

I wished I had come across your video earlier. It would’ve saved me 2 hours of fiddling around with the primer bulb and figuring out which way to connect the fuel lines. Very helpful video. Thanks!

[markboyce]

I learn a lot from you, thank you, there are a few channels on YouTube and they are all good, my preference is watching your channel, I like the way you explain in detail what the problem is, and how to solve it.

[tomsharon-db]

This is the third video I watched and she is the only one to discuss other possible issues besides the carburetor, Thanks to Chickanic my weedeater is running like new.

[bobostrum]

Thanks...you fixed my primer bulb issue...after your detailed explanation...I found that I had it hooked up ass backwards...

[ronchappel]

I've been out of small engine repair for several decades, so this brings back a lot of memories! It's surprising how little has changed.
Do cheap line trimmers still use the worst quality fuel hose in existence😄? I occasionally fix neighbors machines and that's been the issue 90% of the time

[kennethsword]

Dang. I learned something again. Thanks, Bri!
And you are on time with the borescope deal. I ordered it, and got an extra 20% off. So, $39.98 + tax. Chose free shipping.

[hickorystx]

Thanks Bre! Another quality resource video. Well explained and easy to follow. Really do appreciate what you put forth in your tutorials!!!😊
