I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
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 whacker, 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, zero turn mower, 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.

Aah…I see that overfilling even happens to professionals. I thought I was the only one that often overfills my saw’s oil reservoir. So easy to do. 😊
For anyone who might be wondering about the tank vent/valve - I cut one apart a month or two ago. Inside is a spring and a ball. The ball is directly behind the hole and the spring presses the ball against the hole. Using air and/or solvent to try and clean the area where the ball seats might fix the leak if a piece of dirt got between the ball and the seat.
This is exactly how all my projects go the 1st time. I end up taking everything apart 10x, but then I know exactly what I'm doing, & I can do it in my sleep now.
Very detailed explanation of what to look for and do to fix a leaky saw! Better than ANY other video. They don't show all the steps. They may tell you about them but don't show it. Awesome thanks to you Mr Donny!
The 026 was one of the best saws Stihl ever made. I had two of them back in the day and ran them with 24" bars.
I so much agree I like the balance of the 026 better than any saw lve ever ran .
Yes I do agree with you fella!! Greetings from Poland 😉
I still run an 026 as my go to saw, mine has the heated handle too quite rare for this option to be on this saw
I have an 026 also love her
I do the same thing you do concerning ordering parts. I tend to order two of something so I have another, especially on items I know I will run across. Nothing makes a customer happier than saying" I already have that part in stock." Not that I keep a big inventory because I do not. I run across these saws on occasion and love how reliable they are. I have run across the leaking vent issue before and generally most guys refuse to get it fixed or just live with the slight leak. An awesome video this time. I really enjoy your videos.
Great Video Don , my 1992 026 has cut 25 cord for most of its life I Got a New saw for felling use the 026 for light duty , I have replaced 2 air filters 1 oil cap 1 fuel cap and 1 oiler lines 1 fuel line in the last 10 years . 31 year old saw and it still runs great just used it last week tornado went through my area and two tree limbs come down in my yard .
Great saws!
I've been putting cardboard under my 026 for way too long. I tried troubleshooting it in the past, but I couldn't find decent instructions - until now. I replaced the intake hose yesterday, and no oil leaks today. Great step-by-step explanation!
....I recently restored an old Stihl 026 given to me by a friend who gave up on trying to get it to run again after many years of sitting on the shelf....
I love the saw....it's a real screamer and cuts like a dream....this DIY video is gonna come in handy in the future...thanks for posting Don!.... 🙂
Another fantastic informational video, Thank you Dony for sharing your knowledge with us. You good Sir are an excellent small engine teacher!!!!
Always so professional with every step covered. Great one, Don!
Well that was quite involved but very easy to follow. You have a wonderful ability to teach. Thank you Dony and have a great weekend.
You are so good to explain , in detail , thank you 😊
Your videos are so informative! You literally taught me how to fix my own lawnmowers and chainsaws. I still like watching them to keep my skills in tune. God bless you. John.
Thanks for your professional education....
I used to bring my 260 anually to the dealer for maintenance and repair of the oil problems.
I paid €65,- each time and still had oil issues.
Today I took it apart myself: The complete inner side area around the clutch has never been cleaned. Old saw dust mixed with oil residue turned into a layer of dough, hard as concrete, covering the entire inside.
Not able to clean it with compressed air nor brake cleaner.
I'm soaking it with NATO gun oil and now it's weakening and I can peel it off carefully with a small screwdriver....
Took me almost 8 hours, repaired it as shown in the video and now I have a good running chainsaw thanks to you.
That cleaning should have been done by the servicing shop!
@@donyboy73
Thanks to you I am able to do it myself and save money also....
I had the same problem with the same saw, I tried aftermarket cap as it was 5 times cheaper than OEM and it broke once I tried to screw it. So I replaced the o-ring from the old cap with the o-ring from the new cap and it's working for few years already. No need to change the cap as the OEM is the best. Just need to change the o-ring.
I just bought a new OEM o ring for my 028 WB. Worked perfect and cheap.
11:40 I do this everytime. Thank you for making me feel better. Excellence job!
Don I appreciate how detailed you are on the repairs.
That's Don. I enjoy the step by step during the removal and their parts. Once removed you explained the part# needed to replace the part.
A nice repair for a common problem in Chainsaws through many steps you explained it really well😊
Sensational video! Thanks for covering all the steps so thoroughly.
Thanks so much for all the videos, you are a great teacher!!
I have an 026 which is not leaking oil yet. Thanks for a great video and now I know how to stop the oil leak if it does occur.
Excellent video! Complete overview of leak repair/parts replacement on a bar oiler mechanism for this model Stihl. Thanks Don!
Great instructional video! Love to watch your videos! You guide us in a very simple and understanding way! You should be a professor! Keep them coming!
Great vid Don. Thanks.
I did the same job on my 20+ year old Husq 371 XP. It's interesting how the two share the same design ideas. Like you, I went with OEM parts. No leaks!
Don,
Another good video explanation. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
that was a superb demonstration. thank you
A lot of great information. My saw retains pressure unless I rake cap off/on. I’ll check the vent. Thanks and take care.
Very thorough video. Thanks!
Nice video. Good point on the vent. The gaskets for the caps are cheap from Stihl, and 90 percent of the time, it's all that is needed. The clutch drum on the adjustable oiler version will have a slot for driving a different gear on the pump. Keep up the great work!!!!
Oh wow nice how to, I’ve have a saw that just leaks bar oil all the time, going to take a look at that and follow your procedure.
Great video. Lots to learn here. I have a 30 year old 026 so I'll be saving this video. Thanks!
Thanks so much for such a thorough, detailed video. My MS290 is leaking . . .actually, it's leaking more since I got a new Stihl oil cap. Now I know some other things that could be part of the problem. Nice job!
thank you Dony. I inherited a 026 and have done a bit of work to get it running but have avoided the leaking oil. no longer. i have learnt a lot from your videos over the years, especially the long format. i appreciate your whole mantra about helping the people who want to be helped and taking money from the ones who would rather pay someone else to do it. thank you for sharing.
Great video. I recently replaced my oil line on my Ms171 and it cured the leak. It was slightly easier to replace than the one you tackled 😉
very educational, thank you
Outstanding video! Extremely detailed. Thanks for taking the time to show each step and exactly what to do along with all the parts. Great job. Thanks!
Donny Boy fix it videos ae always well explained and recorded in detail. Whenever I need info I look for his direction.
Wow - I admire your perseverance to solve this problem. I am enjoying your videos and learn something every time I watch one.
Great Video. Perfect amount of explanation and follow through with part numbers, etc. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your expertise. You’re a pro!
BTW, you’re the first channel I’ve contributed to. Either I’m really cheap or your video was top notch.
Thanks Very helpful. I have an 036PRO, same saw slightly larger. Tips on oil pump suction and vent are very helpful.
I have one of those in my collection. It does leak, haven't looked into it but will. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for experience and knowledge about Stihl chainsaw
Very good tutorial video, and the thing is with chain saws, they all leak oil eventually, if used regularly.
Excellent job and video for the DIY guys. Thank you.
Perfect.... my 026 Arctic has a leak... now I can fix it. Thanks!!
Superinformative video. Thank you Dony!
Good day Don Interesting. I am glad I am not the only one who over fills Interesting seeing inside of bar lines.
Thanks
the 026 is one verry good saw. I am using it from 30 years, it is stil clean ! and work fine.
Thanks for your video.
Thanks for the heads up on this I'm going to need to replace mine as well
Great job! I need to do the same thing on my old 036. Thanks.
Thanks Don, I have watched your tutorial and I will investigate the leaks I have tomorrow, Cheers
What a great video! I have the same Stihl chainsaw and this made me an expert in fixing it. A little story about how I got it: I have a relative who said that there is a chainsaw that they would like to sell. They have about 10 Stihls, but they never sell any. They are quite an alcoholic brigade, but nice guys. I was quite sure that they really mean that it is good, but I knew nothing about chainsaws and this one was looking really old. One guy used it that day, and he was absolutely drunk in the evening. He could barley say a word. I asked him if the chainsaw was good, and he just smiled and said: "it is a good chainsaw". At that moment I knew that he was being honest. :)
Learned a lot from this one 😊
Best video I've found for my 026 chain saw. Keep up with more and ty 😊
Well explained sir,thank you!
Dad had up to seven Stihl chainsaws in the early seventies and worked part time at a saw shop in Indy in later years. I am a big Stihl fan but not a two cycle user at this time. I have four of the consumer battery devices and the quality, durability and performance of all of them has not dissapointed me.
Keep Kicking!
That little vent valve was a bonus reveal Don. MuTx!
Awesome video! Thanks!
I also like the old style cap as well, I've has 2 year old saws that had the flip caps fail.
I do have the exact same 026 saw that I bought new thirty years ago and it still runs great. Mine leaks a little oil but I always drain the gas and the bar oil out after I'm finished using it for the day so it leaves very little oil residue. I always hand tighten my gas and oil caps and never use the screw driver just for that reason to not break them. Great video and Thanks for making it. This is the best video I have found for this saw. Thank you for the part numbers also. I may make these repairs pretty soon.
Awesome video Don. You, sir, are truly dedicated to your craft.
Thank you so much for posting this video, Dohn! My friend asked me to look into his leaky saw. His saw is 30 years old. Your photography was excellent. I stopped it and did screen captures at every stage and saved them to my photos. I will have a great permanent record of the entire procedure. Thank you so much. It is also really rewarding to see that you have been so successful that you have upgraded your tools to Snap-on Tools! They are a joy to work with. Have a blessed new year. John.
Interesting blowing air on the little valve could be the culprit? Other 2 fixes I was aware of. Another great tip!
Thank you for information and advice
Great video…thanks for taking the time and for sharing!
Great detail video and explanation. I really like that you left the accidental overfill in. Realistic maintenance. Subscribed.
Great video buddy thanks for sharing very helpful have a great day
Great video, Real helpful. Thanks
Good video, Dony! Although other chainsaws may use different oiler setups, the basic system is similar across most makes and models, so this would be a pretty good video as a reference tool - at least for learning what to check when your saw is leaking.
So many extra learnings besides the main theme....Rock On!
I have an 025 that leaked oil at the cap and the rubber line going into the tank. Replaced the oil line and O ring on the nylon fitting. Then saw that the cap leaked too. Same cap as your 026. I removed the flat gasket and used an Oring. Last I looked it wasn't leaking. I did cut out an oversized flat gasket from an old bicycle tire tube. If the Oring doesn't work out, I'll try the tire tube gasket. Great videos, Dony. Very professional and no BS. Good closeups
Love your videos,...Simple & concise. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Anything but lol I had to watch on 2x speed😂
Fantastic video for someone learning the trade, i have basically set my whole diagnostic set up and just about everything ive learned from thus channel and the geasy shop rag. Scott also has a fantastic channel and explains things in detail such as you do. Thank you for your help and time brother. Take care
Thank u very much!... I have my trusty old 026 and am about to have some big maintenance done to it. And one of the reasons is the leaking. So I'm gonna make the tech watch your video, and now I have the part numbers. So they can't f-it up...
Love my saw, it was a gift from my manager at an early internship and had it do really good work for over 20 years...
Excellent work and teaching 😊
I’ve overfilled the oiler so many times and I know better It fills up fast near the top I find . Another great video.👍
So easy to do!
Good knowledge to have, thanks.
Very informative, thank you very much
Great Instruction Video as always Dony.
So much knowledge here. Thank you very much.
Great work, Don! Thanks for sharing!
Great video I’ve had this issue for a long time
Great video, mate. And well explained. It helps me a lot. Thanks
Great video.Exactly what I needed.
I actually like how they made that valve. It looks to be a good idea.
I'm used to the old Jonsered, and they simply have a small cotter pin. It works really well but it will leak some.
That’s what my Jonsered 49sp uses too
Awesome video (as always) Dony! Your tutorials are the best of the best!
Greetings from Sweden
Great video Donny. My Stihls usually leak sitting around if I leave bar oil in them. I've just got in to the habit of pouring the unused oil back into the container after cutting. That is if I'm through for a few days. Same as fuel, as the alcohol destroys the lines . Thanks again.
I replaced the oil pickup line without dumping the bar oil in my 026 the other day. Turning the saw on its flywheel side will keep all the oil in the saw. I removed the clutch, sprocket, worm gear and oil pump. I then pulled out the old oil pickup line with a pair of needle nose pliers. Blew the filter out and put it on the new oil line. I pushed it into the hole and then took my 10 mm long nut driver and pushed it down completely into the hole. I put everything together, ranked it up and it oiled, perfectly. I have had no leaks since. I did not replace the discharge line.
good job nan. Thanks
I actually had to pause just to agree on those older fuel caps being better. Way over from Australia mate 👍
Awesome Video thank you for the video
Thank you.
Thank you for the video. I have to do this very soon to my 026. Here's a little tip for filling with bar oil and not spilling. Go and get the largest dish soap or laundry detergent bottle that has an extended spout. Use it all up and use that for your bar oil. Makes filling so much easier and cleaner.
I like the old school Caps on the gas tank and the oil tank instead of the flip up Caps on chain saw s
My old Husq' 141 still has a similar nuisance leak even after replacing the pump & line. I've decided to just place paper grocery bags & cardboard under it. Dony, thank you for reminding me of all the troubleshooting I should have done!
Yep was a great vid! I hate oil leaks. They are totally avoidable. I use gas instead of oil to find leaks. It will find the tiniest leaks. And silicone all rubber connections. I’ve had great luck with these tricks. I’ve also used JB weld on a 455. Nothing else worked but that’s held up now for 6yrs. Good luck
Awesome Video. I have an o26 still chainsaw.. I appreciate the video
