I’ve worked on my small engine equipment for over 55 years and never (edited) heard of this rule. You never know what you learn on this channel. Bottoms-up!

[rickwashek]

Oh boy that was a quickie. I barely got my beer 🍺 cracked open. Thanks Steve.

[ocelblack]

How many other sites would have made a 45 minute video of the same information? You have saved thousands of people from wasting 30 minutes of their lives.

[joshsimmons]

Awesome, simple and to the point. I'm going to have to definitely remember this for the future

[stevek]

Short but right to the point. Love it.

[seastacker]

Aways used those gaps as a solid base… never put them together into a nice, easy to remember rude. I love it.

[tampadad]

These are the tips that make me a subscriber. What an easy thing to remember but as a small time diy man I would never know that without your videos. Remember what may be simple for you is not at all common knowledge for some viewers!

[kevinleblanc]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge brother, it's a priceless gift. Your a good man who loves to help other people we need more like you....

[jamesspinks]

Never in the history of man has imperial been so easy, I’m metric through and through but 0.000254-0.000508-0.000762m just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Great video by the way.

[williesmith]

Steve your page is the first page and in most cases the only page I go to for small engine info. Thank you

[davidconn]

Old Milwaukee helped me bridge the gap many times also, thanks Steve.

[genecurrivan]

Been repairing engines since I was 12 and that was 1972. Great way to remember... I'll still check it just in case when working on unfamiliar engines.

[OldJoe]

Steve. You should also have a quick video on cleaning sparkplugs. I had an 8hp Honda snowblower that had the original plug for 25 year. Yep, I said 25 years. Cleaned and re-gapped the plug every fall, and never had a problem. Saved enough $s to buy more than a few cases of beer.

[albyers]

That is amazing, I just picked up a new ignition pack for my still fs55 and I asked the dealer what the gap should be - they told me a business card - thanks again Steve 👍👍

[catfisher]

I'm blown away by how many "men" don't know 10, 20, 30. I learned this when I was 8 or younger. As a kid mowing a gearheads acreage with a push mower I seemed to break a lot of keyways. I can't imagine why there was so much junk hiding in the grass with 4 crazy kids running around!

[terryboone]

I wish you would have a video every day. That way i would learn something new every day. 👍

[justanotherviewer]

Thanks Steve. Tips and tricks - things you remember.

[christophercastor]

10-20-30? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Thank you for kicking ass as always

[ronhall]

Thanks Steve ….. I need to write that information down somewhere ….. you are always teaching me, and I’m always learning!
