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 wacker, 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.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on CZcams and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

Another idea is to soak the rubber boot in a cup of boiling water first to make it more pliable and easier to slide on. Thanks for the great tips Don. 👍
Heat gun.
I made the same repair on a different brand of chainsaw. The metal piece didn’t break, the operator pulled on the wire instead of the boot and the metal piece pulled out of the wire and the boot. To put it back together I lubed the wire and put the boot on first, then attached the metal piece to the wire and it was pretty easy to pull the boot over the metal piece. Another excellent video, thanks for sharing.
You help millions of people who are like myself that have little knowledge of these repair procedures.
Thank you for all you do.
All these years tinkering with small engines, yet I never knew about that coiled connector. I guess I have just been lucky. Once again, you have provided me with information so I can look like a genius to my neighbours!
little additional tip...use heat shrink tubibg to hold the metal tab tight to the wire...works really good if the wire has some issues to hold it strong in place...i use wd40 for the boot to start it as well...
Great design! Said no one ever.
If you thread the boot down the wire till the ignition lead is sticking up and out of the boot you can then pull the boot up and over the sparkplug contact spring. That way you avoid the narrow end. Less chance the spring will come out of the ignition lead.
Another great short tip! I like the idea of putting dielectric grease on plug. It's similiar to using anti-seize on items such as tractor axles so you can get the wheels off easily. I have struggled in the past removing older stubborn spark plug boots and have wasted my money buying a new coil / boot. Ugh! Thanks again Don!
I feed the HT wire lead through the boot, put the spark plug coil lead on the HT wire, then pull it back into the boot (with lubricant).
I should have read the comments ... usually do but not today !
Thank you, You made it very clear how to do this. My clip came off the wire when removing boot from spark plug on Stihl backpack, I didn't know how to put it back together. Thanks again for the helpful video
another awesome video, dony! other repair guys get puzzled out i replace boots and spark connectors and I always have a hard time explaining myself. you do an amazing job in explaining your repairs and diagnoses.
Thank you for sharing this information. I had this happen to my snow blower this past winter and was contemplating purchasing a new spark plug wire. Looking at the spark plug boot and wire is exactly what I watched on this video. Thank you very much.
I wished I had watched this before I tried to replace it with out knowing what to heck I was doing. After struggling with it for about an hour I watched your video and had it back together in two minutes. Thank you very much for your help.
I just want to thank you because I am a homeowner and I like to figure things out but this one was beyond me and I was going to pay money to have it repaired but you saved me time and money because this is very doable thanks for your knowledge and I can add another skill in my journey to be a home Craftsman thanks so much
Had to replace the plug boot on my trimmer. The old boot was so tight I had to cut it off. My replacement boot had a smaller wire opening and I thought there was no way I could get the wire, let alone the metal lead, through the boot. Saw your video...the WD 40 was the secret. Took less than 5 mins...magical. Thanks.
So much thanks! I was about to just go buy a new trimmer but your video was perfect and applied directly to my ryobi trimmer. Thank you again.
You make the job at hand look very easy,thanks you for your video clips
That happened to me. But luckily it didn’t break the metal part. I slipped the boot on first then the metal part reinstalled the boot on the plug and used dialectic grease! That was 2 years ago still going strong! Thanks for the videos and all your help brother!🇺🇦☮️✌🏻
Thanks so much for this video. I have never had this problem until today. It was incredibly helpful to find this video and be able to fix the problem in a few minutes.
Thank you, my saw was running fine yesterday and then I could not start it. Tried checking the spark plug and this exact issue happened. I will fix it myself!
I have always just bought a whole new wire. But i can see why this could make sense as well. thanks for sharing
Worked like a charm and saved me the cost of a new boot/ignition coil! Thanks very much!!
Thank you for that repair boy that makes sense I've never ran into that but now I know I always watch your videos thanks for all your videos
had my boot slip off today on the chainsaw, thanks for the wd40 tip! got it back on real nice. seems like those coils are on tighter than they used to be. i appreciate the video
Brilliant as always. Just bought a used Ryobi string trimmer. Boot head is ripped.
Thanks so much for the clear helpful video. I just pulled mine loose while getting ready for the next season.
You're the man! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. True class act!
I had a similar issue with my boot and connector wire. Glad to see that I guessed correctly and got it all together and working. I will use the WD40 next time to make it a little easier! Thanks!
Heat the rubber boot up too with a heat gun or blow dryer.
Nice video again Don. You always make everything you do look so easy.
Thank you. This helped me to be able to fix a leaf blower with the same problem.
Great instructions, will be helpful for many.
BINGO! Thanks this is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! And I have a contribution to everyone here! Take the boot and drop it into a cup of hot soapy water for several minutes. The rubber will loosen up and it will SLIP EASILY RIGHT OVER THE SPRING AND WIRE! You wont have to fight with it at all!
Thanks Man ! I fixed it on my Stihl BG 86. I used the original puncture hole in the wire, the clip was not broken. It works just fine
Better to shorten a bit and make a new one,just to be safe...
Donyboy - you are a legend! Thanks again for this advice!!
Thought I needed to buy a new part but again CZcams and Donyboy73 comes thru. Thanks for posting this easy fix. Saw fired right up.
Wow...we're talking 1940's concepts that are still relevant today. Insulating boot, good connectivity, lube, etc.
And the nasty job of getting that connector into the boot!
Interesting.
Thanks Dony!
Thanks again for sharing your vast knowledge. You are money 💰
Why not put the boot on the wire first going past the area where the metal contact goes and once you get the boot on put the metal contact on and then pull the boot forward?
Japp,gjort som du netimage10s.
Thumbsupp from Sweden.
I work on small engines everyday and always had problems with these but being honest with you I never thought of that one but most certainly will be trying it next time
That seems easier and the only way I've tried doing this. The hardest part is getting that wire to go around the 90 degree elbow, but its not that hard.
I was thinking the same,but the spark plug wire is very short & probably wont have enough length to allow for this.
Thank you for this very valuable instruction as always!
Thanks for the tip Don.
Happy Canada day. Enjoy the long weekend 👍
thanks Peter!
Thank you so much, was searching a while to find a video like this!
Great video, exactly what I needed to know. I guess the best way to remove it in the first place is to use pliers on the tip of the rubber closest to the end. Not sure why its so tight and remember small engines having a "C" style metal band that came off a lot easier. Thanks again!
Awesome video don! Hope your busy in the shop. Take care!
Didn’t even know those were interchangeable. Thanks again!
Great stuff Dony!
Good info. Thanks for sharing Dony!
Love the intro and positive energy Don. Awesome video on this repair (with the technique and tips to make it easy). Hope you and your family have a great weekend. Celebrating the July 4th weekend here in the States.

So many helpful tips !
Than you sir
Once again thank-you and God Bless!
Thank you so much this video really helps
vary nice pro tip thank you
Thank you very much - just helped me out :)
Wow! Thank you very much Don!
After I put the metal part i n the middle I put some wires isolated around to stay better and cover with some isolated band, that for not moving so much.Have a nice day.
great video! Thank you Sir!
It's very useful and specific
I was "like" number 879, great videos Sir, Blessings to you and your Family
Great tip!
Another GREAT VIDEO. THANKS
Thanks for the info.
Bloody brilliant buddy....thx.
Dony boy I owe you a beer! Thanks for this!
Thanks dude!
Good information don mate
Great post Dony!!!😀👍👍👍
Thank you!
Great info.. Enjoy your Canada Day🇨🇦
Thanks Donny
Thanks brother for that
We use hair spray, it is slick and allows the wire to slide in, then when dry is solid and helps hold it in place(put in correctly it usually doesn't need help though)
Hola Dony ur great man thanks for video 👍👍
You are the MAN 💪
sitting the boot in the wood stove for a few seconds to soften it up works as well
Thank you ❤🎉
grouse stuff Donny mate and yep i do the same thing when i replace a clip on a spark plug wire and boot etc.
Thank you.
Just the info I needed! Thx. So, if there is room to put the boot on first then slide it up, would you do it?
Great share ty
thanks . i sometimes fix bad plug wires on my car . mine tend to break right at end that goes on plug . strip 1/2 inch of outer jacket , turn inner conductor 180 degrees back onto outer jacket , re-crimp metal connector over both , slide boot back into place .
Well done.
Thank you
Thank u very much!!!!
thank man I never knew the spring was shaped like that
Another great job there Young Man
thanks Robert, have a good weekend!
@@donyboy73 you do the same thing.donny👍😎
WE put the boot on first .
thanks now i learn
Thank s!!
Good video
I'm rescuing an MS461 and today tracked it down to an intermittent ignition wire. At first I was happy to find this video but after piercing my finger once, pinching it hard with the pliers, I realized that this method is backwards. Haven't done it in many years and not on a chainsaw, but the boot really needs to go on first. When you pierce the wire with the spring contact, the boot then easily slides up and over the straight portion of the contact. The coil spring never needs to pass through the boot except for entering the large end.
Thank you. Mistery solved.
Super. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You just saved my ass! Thanks
Thanks
Got it DB73, I hope this doesn't happen to me. I'm going to be careful from now on. God Bless My Friend👍
Little off topic but on some off my chainsaws do u think it would help the engine inners on the pull handle to install a small coil spring on the rope knot side so when it shuts down there's a little cushion like non on my 131 pole saw and my my 355 echo and other sawa
Can you slide the boot on the wire before putting the clip?
