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!

    Dayaummmm! Just tried this with my 'problem child' (Stihl BG85) and it worked like a charm. You've now shown me how to get it running, and, today, KEEP it running! Awesome. Frustration saved.
  • @tee-steel.0158
    I am so amazed that a young lady like you teach this old man so much 😂 and you are quite entertaining as well. Thank you ❤

    That old snapper rider brings back memories of a dear old friend of mine. He had same snapper and cutting his lawn was therapy for him. He had a smile on his face the whole 3/4 of an acre. He also was a bee keeper, and grafted an apple tree to have four different apples. He owned and ran a popular bar and grill on a state university campus in new center Detroit. He’s in his nineties now and is doing about as good as you can that old.

    My dad always said, "If that was a Go-cart or Snowmobile you'd get it started"!😅

    If Chickanic's trick does not work for you, remove the old fuel from the tank. Get you some Mechanic in a Bottle and pour some into the tank. Push the primer bulb about a dozen times to circulate the solution thru the carb. Let it sit over night. Next day add fresh fuel to the tank and it will start right up. It's very simple. Even better tip: always use ethanol free gas and you will never have this problem at all
  • I just love watching your videos. I’m a lady that works on all my things and I love getting all the ideas from you. Thanks for your videos.
  • @BearE9090
    Had that problem before. Took the carb off and cleaned it. But next time, I will use your tip. Thanks.
  • @larryrussell4905
    All of my gasoline equipment is kept full of gas and I run them at least every two weeks. They are kept at the door of my shop so they are not "out of sight, out of mine". My gasoline generator is run monthly, under varying loads until it runs out of the pint of gasoline I put in it. I have NEVER had an issue with any generator I have ever owned doing this routine. It's on my calendar to do regularly! Great channel! Thanks for all the videos!
  • @jonw3550
    Wow, you’re good. I literally search your videos when I have a problem and consider your videos “professional development” even though I’m not a landscaper and just a Joe Schmo taking care of his stuff.
  • @chuckster6513
    Well I'll be darn. That is exactly what I have been doing with my trimmer for years. Tried to get my neigher to do it but he was afraid he would blow up his engine. So I just do it for him, because it works ! Thanks for your videos. Take Care
  • @wallebo
    Great tip on starting equipment after a long rest period. This has to be the best down to earth channel on the internet as far as I am concerned.
  • @sheronliss1070
    Wow! I love the fact that you show other women that, “ I can do it!” Spirit! I look forward to a video on Pressure Washers, I will be getting mine out of the shed and cleaning my white vinyl fence. Hopefully she will start. 😂
  • What a simple and obviously, effective fix/test!!!! Like others have said, Thank You for all the tips you willingly gift to us! Living my best La Vida Loca here in south eastern Arizona

    At the end of the season, I empty the fuel and run the engine until it stalls out. Then it's ready to store for the winter. Spring time I give it some fresh fuel and BAM, it starts and runs as intended. I do the same for my ATVs. Top off the fuel tank and turn off the petcock and run the ATV dry. Never had an issue with them in over 39yrs.! Good tips, keep them coming! P.S. I also use non-ethanol gas in my yard equipment engines and ATVs.
  • Once again, you are saving me Time. Money and Frustration. You are awesome, and I am thankful I found you.
  • @philliphall5198
    Second time I’m watching this video just to make sure I didn’t miss anything 😊 Thanks 🙏
  • That's actually how I "quick" start almost every piece of stick equipment in my shop. I show the same thing to my customers all the time. Even machines that are normally run can be slow to start if the carburetor us getting older. It works just as good on them as well.
  • @barrybebenek8691
    Great tips in this one. That choke-trick is awesome. Thanks for this. 🇨🇦👍🏼
