My goal is simple....I want to SAVE YOU TIME, FRUSTRATION AND MOST IMPORTANT, MONEY!

Welcome to Steve's Small Engine Saloon

Steve here...welcome to my website. When I'm not working as a small engine repair tech or hanging out with my family, I am busy producing HOW TO small engine repair videos.  Nowadays it seems everyone would rather buy new equipment when something goes wrong, but for those of you who like to get your hands dirty and simply fix perfectly usable equipment, my videos are for you!!

Check out my video series on all types of problem solving techniques for chainsaws, lawn mowers, ride on mowers, blowers, grass trimmers and more.  Plus check out some of my fun videos from contests, product reviews to video guests.  I even blow up an engine or two.

Easy small engine repairs to save you money!

Ultimate Tips For Using An Ultrasonic Cleaner
Ultrasonic cleaners are the #1 way to clean carburetors, tools, small engine parts, automotive parts, jewellery, eye glasses, coins, dentures, hair brushes, combs, medical or dental equipment, gun parts and so much more. You too can clean your parts like a professional!! How does an ultra sonic cleaner work? It converts energy into high frequency sound waves which are sent through a tank of liquid creating a cleaning action called cavitation. The sound waves create tiny bubbles that rapidly increase in size and burst giving off masses of energy against the surface of the components being cleaned. This is ultrasonic energy. What type of solutions to use? There are many solutions to use including water, dawn dish soap, professional cleaners, but stay tuned for my personal favorite. Reminder to make sure you’re using the cleaner in a well vented area if you’re using a corrosive substance.
