Small engine repair video series

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 like Buckin' Billy Ray Smith. I even blow up an engine or two.

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

Proper Way To Tip A Lawn Mower Over
This is the only sure way to safely flip or tilt a lawnmower over without draining all the fluids. If you use this method or technique, you will not hydro-lock the engine or have fuel or oil drip from the engine. I show you how and why and then prove it. Turn it over the right way!

Straighten A Bent Lawn Mower Crankshaft With A Pipe
I will tell you why I don't use a hammer to straighten a bent shaft. I use a heavy pipe now because it is softer, safer, impact proof and easy. A lawn mower is garbage if it has a bent shaft. You have nothing to lose by trying this trick...

Does Mr. Funnel Fuel Filter Really Remove Water From Gasoline
Water in your gas tank or carburetor is a critical problem. You'll find a multitude of fuel additives out there but maybe a fuel filter is the answer. I had to finally try a Mr. Funnel because I receive so many comments about this product. I will show you if it works or not! Mr. Funnel is supposed to remove water, dirt and debris. It is simple, portable and self-cleaning. But, does it work? Let's find out.

WOW! This Fuel Filter Sucks!
Not all fuel filters are the same! I cut open a couple fuel filters to show the difference between a good one and a bad one. This makes a huge difference on your equipment over the long run. Protect the carburetor.

WOW! Hidden Greasing Spot On A Chain Saw
Does your powersaw chain turn when you try to start it? You pull the starter rope and the chain moves? Watch Steve show you how to fix the problem. What do you think? Is it a broken clutch spring?? The clutch drum should turn freely without moving the clutch, let’s see if it does or maybe it’s stuck on the crankshaft.
