A Typical Day At My Small Engine Repair Shop! Diagnosing, Fixing and Fails Episode!

Thanks so much for watching! Find all of my MUST HAVE, favorite tools here! www.amazon.com/shop/chickanic?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_a…

Every other month I need a Chickanic Marathon, just for the entertainment of it. Having been a diesel mechanic for many years I love seeing people mistreat their small engines as bad or worse as well. Just so you know, You're an Amazing Technician!

I am a 62 year old widow and have learned so much from watching your videos. Thanks, Chickanic! Tami

The background noise smile was priceless!!!

You're filming in an active shop - noise is inevitable. Makes things real. Keep making great videos. Stay safe.

A chicanic video, early Friday morning?! The cornerstone of EVERY nutritious breakfast!!!

Whenever I came up against stripped or loose threads like that I take some copper wire strands and shove it in the hole then put the screws back in and tighten. works like a charm.

With all of the exercise your arm gets from starting equipment, you must have a heck of a right cross.

I started out in HS shop class in the 70s tearing apart the Briggs n Stratton motors. In order to pass we had to get the engine running. I was sweating bullets because my teammates and I could not get it to run. The bell ran and we were still trying to get it to run. We were the only ones left in the classroom. Finally the engine started. We passed with a A. 😅. Remember like it was yesterday. 😮.... went from small engines to auto repair to medical school and back. What a ride of life. Get video.✌️

As soon as I heard the "Make sure you cup your hand over the E Clip, or it'll go flying across the room...." I could hear the "Ask me how I know!"

It's wonderful that you save your customers money most places won't even think about using old parts

I wish more mechanics were like you. It blows my mind how so many just screw people over.

G’day greetings from Tassie I think your Chanel is great you have a very good personality and you explain repairs ect, very well. I couldn’t believe how many junk machines you have outside one thing is it shows how many people that bring their machines to you to fix. One thing though stop using your palm of your hand to undo the spark plug. Your setting yourself up to get carpel tunnel, I have had bilateral Capel tunnel myself and it is extremely painful and debilitating. Kind regards John from a concerned old bloke

Love watching a day in the shop video! I’m learning so much from ya!

I have saved so much money watching your videos. Thank you for what you do.

I’ve put helicoils in two stroke jugs. Never had a failure after doing it. Back in the 70s I modified Honda 250 engines to run reed valves which involved building up the intake side with an epoxy and using a helicoil in each screw hole. Yes I used Loctite to keep the screws from loosening and a thin layer of copper RTV the gaskets.

“You put your hand over the sprocket so when you pry c clip It won’t fly across the room, and you may not ever find it.” Correction, the c clip will fly across the room into another dimension, and you will not ever find it.

I have never seen anything like it !! You can almost work on this equipment blindfolded ! All I can say , " You Are Amazing !!! " Also you are funny !!

The more I watch your videos, the more I want to start my own repair shop, up here in north eastern VT. One small engine I don't see any of, are snow blowers. We get a decent amount of it up here when it does snow, lol. Keep them vids coming, I'm learning SOOO much!!! 💯%

Like you win win methods. Very good.
