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

Would’ve miss this all day long. Great job finding the root cause
😂😂😂😂 Another Day At The Office ...4 The Master.Thank You Donyboy.U Rock.Richard.
The only good thing about having to wake up on Friday mornings is seeing a notification that you put up a new video. Homelites get a bad rap because people just don't have the knowledge on how to take care of 2 strokes. Me personally, I don't mind them. They are super affordable and as long as you do the basic maintenance they'll last. This video show that. Great job as always Don. Hope you and your family have a great weekend
Amazing! I have virtually no experience with 2 stroke engines except some outboards, and seeing that that insect dirt plug stopped it from running was fantastic to learn!
Perfect timing for a free blower; right in time for leaf-season here in Ontario. 😁👍🏼 Nice work. Thanx.
You always manage to teach us something - thank you Dony.
Easy fix. I would never have looked in the exaust pipe 😂😂
Yep saw that episode. Amazing that something so small can cause a plane to crash.
Tks Dony, another very informative video
Good job diagnosing the problem. You're a good mechanic.
Just one criticism. Not even really a criticism, more like a suggestion. You shouldn't run machines in your shop, particularly two strokes because of the oil in the exhaust, and particularly one like this that was blocked up. Insects, as well as vermin, can plug things up with EXCREMENT. It gets into the air, you breathe it and potentially get REALLY sick. Be careful. We want you around for awhile! 👍
Be well.
Another great class DonyBoy!
I seen that episode of air crashes
I had a homelite like this. It gave me starting problems around year three and got progressively worse until about year ten, where it wouldn't ever start. Replaced it with an Echo that's been reliable for nine years. After watching this video, maybe I'll take a crack at repairing the old homelite.
I’ve come across this same thing a few times 10:15 . Here in Texas you have to look if the machine has been setting in a tool shed for any length of time.
Wow, thats incredible Dony . I would have never even thought to look at that, great job !! 👏
another flawless diagnosis! Thanks for sharing.
Had the same problem on my outboard with the water outlet for the cooling, damn sand flies making a nest. Cheers
with my leaf blower it was the fuel lines from tank to carb had burnt through. So repaced with better ones and no more problems
I'ts the same motor witch homellite used on a small trimmer . Not so good products but if is a gift it's all right .
Great information. Thank you.
Thanks Don, i was surprised you didn't try putting a little gas directly into the cylinder when you had the plug out, works for me many times.......ofcourse that is just when it is dried out, not with a plugged muffler.
Thanks Don! You always give out great information and your videos are a great help to many! Thanks for coming to work today!
Had that happened to me while I was working in a small engine shop, it was on an older craftsman brush cutter, same thing, mud dauber had built its nest in the exhaust port preventing the engine from running.
We have 2 lakes near by and I get lots of repairs from them, it’s common to find a completely stopped up muffler, lake people I remove muffler first
I have a older model and it has the same muffler and I exhaust it away from the intake runs so much better
I've never seen that before. But I have experienced the clogged pitot tube after parking a plane in the Caribbean for a few days without covers on it.
Great video!👍🏻
Good lesson to learn. Thanks
thanks man you really helps me with my problems
Very helpful, who could imagine such issue because of a tiny nest...?
It's along the same idea as having a plugged spark arrestor screen.
@blackenedmagic888 the reason why I like watching at that kind of video, you always learn something unexpected
Thanks Don nice find would not have thought about that tube on the muffler always learn something from your videos. 👍
Not many would think to check that, nice job Don!
I've got one of these that just won't die I've had it for 13 years it always starts it's a craftsman model I do always at te end of the summer before putting it and all my gas powered equipment away for the winter dump out the fuel and run the dry and they always start in the spring.
That was fun Don. Watching someone else work on a 2 stroke. 🙂
I wasn't expecting that wow I'll have to keep an eye that THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Whodda thunk it would be an insect mud nest in the muffler? Your experience proves effective in troubleshooting again. It's great to know of more things to check. Great video, Don. Thanks
Thanks little buddy
Another great video. Homelites are basically throw aways. Hate to use that term. Even when you get them running correctly they don't seem to after very long.
That was crazy!
Haha that was a good find! I didnt think that was going to be the issue
I have this same blower that someone gave me. I ended up putting a new carb on it and then it worked. A little later discovered that it was back with the running problem it had. Then found that carb needed adjustment . It was one of those that has hidden adjustment screws and just needed to remove plastics cap to access the screw.
Great vid here
My Honda weed trimmer had the same problem. Pulled it apart a few times before solving the clogged muffler prolem. Great tip Don. Ìt can be a real head ache finding the solution if you dont follow the problem solving proceedure.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks Dony fascinating
Diaphragms probably a little stiff from sitting . My ms170 does the same but after 5 minutes runs like a champ 👍great video
I fill tank with atf fluid after I empty it and pump it thru the carb
Just drain good, pump gas mix thru carb and it’s good to go until end of season
Can use 2cly oil also
Good job, Donyboy73
Great find. Amazing the smallest of details can make the biggest differences
Awesome 👍
Thanks for sharing this video it was really helpful 👍
valuable lesson on what to look for, thanks for posting, have a great weekend
Next time you inject fuel into the cylinder, put the fuel into it via the spark plug hole instead. It's much easier in my opinion.
Who woulda thunkit? 😃 Good job.
I thought of this airplane Insect thing too. I think they had to put some covers on the pietot tubes and forgot to take them off though. It could be another aircrash investigation too.
Hit that like button 👍🌟👍
Backed an old pickup into snow bank once and would barely run. I was checking everything and was scratching my head. A buddy walked into my garage and noticed the tailpipe plugged!! Dug it out and back to normal running!!
It's called a dirt dauber..we have then in Georgia..bag your equipment after use..
I saw that episode.
I ran across that problem on a troy built roto tiller. Mud dobbers will do a number on machines of all types if they set long.❤
Thanks Don, great to see a happy ending, I have had a similar experience with paper wasps, Cheers
No better way to start the day , than the conquest of a 2 cycle tool!! 🤣🤣
Nice job.
thanks so much for this video.appreciate you taking the time to show the breakdown and find the problem.learned a lot!
John
I had a friend whose car had similar symptoms, it had a clogged catalytic converter.
Wow got to give this a try today when I get home from work didn't think 🤔 to look there for blockage thanks for the info ❤
Good fix at least Homelite works👍
Great information and very thorough 👍
Great video Don i knew you would fig it out !
i would've bet it would be the carb . nice catch d b .
The bees just know! 🐝
They’re tired of getting blown around. 😆
I bought a Homelite handheld blower similar to this 10 years ago for around $80 new. It has been quite the reliable blower for the money - the only catch being the half-adjustable (only idle) carburetor is difficult to get running correctly at high altitude where I live. I may be able to retrofit a fully adjustable carburetor to it later on to fix that problem though.
Do you ever adjust those rotary carbs? I don't believe I have seen a video on that procedure. It's not easy like on cube style; the low needle is vertical & deep inside the housing & the high is on the side, also deeply recessed..
How does the air get in for the blower portion? That looked like a solid cover to me?
Who'd'a' thunk it. Those darn bugs get into everything around here, even the tell-tail on my outboard engine.
Nice video Dony, Where do you purchase the Aspen 2 cycle fuel from? I can't locate it in my area. Thanks
👍👍👍
Do you buy your fuel line in bulk and if you do where do you order it from.
Seems like all petrol equipment is backed off to run lean. Is this to pass emissions.
Wish someone would replace the accelerator cable. That is my problem.
i thought it was bad to high rev a 2 stroke in a cold start. or is it just chainsaws?
How do you replace the throttle cable in this blower
Would it run without the muffler
That looks like a dirt dobber nesr in the exhaust tube of the muffler that is like the exhaust screen being clogged up with to much carbon which is causing the compression to back lash
grouse save Donny mate and yep a very rare machine now for sure and luckily you can split the cylinder block on those ones compared to the short block version which is from the newer units in the green colored type which is semi welded together sadly but yeah still worth fixing from my view and cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🇦🇺 or the land down under to your area in Canada 🇨🇦 🍁Ontario and i hope your enjoy your Autumn/Fall🍂🍃 Season over there etc.
It's like COPD in humans, it has to be able to exhale as well as inhale.
Mud Dauber Wasps & mice cause more mechanical damage to outdoor ICE (internal combustion engine) equipment do to operators not inspecting their engines prior to starting and running.
Dony does homelite even make blowers or chainsaws anymore?
Not sure.
a mouse dedced to make a nest in my exaust muffler on my Honda... 😂
Mason Bee??
Can I ship a Honda GX -160. to you?
Dony, is it because theres no money in fixing them?
Yes I don't take them in as repairs because seldom is it an easy fix like this one and it's hard to charge my time for these!
I wouldn't try sucking with a Homelite, they have plastic fans that break the fins when anything hard gets picked up . Ask me how i know !!!
Mason bee
Sell it some body would buy it
Mud daubers get into the strangest places.
Those dog gone mud wasps! Great fix!
I've been struggling with my lawn tractor. I'm going to check the muffler next! Here's that's happening. Your input would be appreciated. czcams.com/video/qUokyB2TIv4/video.html
mud dauber
Looks very heavy n big for what it is :(
Mud dauber. Just like jamming a potato in a car exhaust pipe.
Just say no to two-stroke engines unless Dony's around. They're not worth the aggravation.
Donyboy73. Excelente video,sobre Todo que tienes paciencia!! Salu2
