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!
⭐30 DAYS OF QUESTIONS⭐  Stay tuned for a new video every day for 30 days answering everything from chainsaws flooding to lawn mower chutes clogging, even what is Steve's favorite type of chainsaw... and if you miss a day, you can go back to our Saloon Mail Playlist and find the previous day's question to check out.

DAY 1 of ⭐30 DAYS OF QUESTIONS⭐ Is a Stihl 4-mix engine a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke? Steve has the answer!

DAY 2 of ⭐30 DAYS OF QUESTIONS⭐ Are John Deere Riding Lawn Mowers Made By MTD? What do you think?

Easy Way To Remember What The I and O Means On A Switch

Easy way to remember what the I and O means on a switch. Are you trying to figure out why your power switch doesn't simply say on/off? Why do the manufacturers make it impossible to remember which symbol means on or off? Steve gives you the solution.

The I and O are universal symbols for power on and off but that doesn't help you remember on the spot...Different manufacturers have different terms to help you out but Steve has the easy answer.

Does An Electronic De-Sulfator Really Repair A Battery?? See Real Results

I found four 12 volt, lead acid batteries with four different problems. I tried to repair them with an auto battery desulfator. Two worked great and two did not work at all! Including a riding lawn mower tractor battery. Watch this video to see if this tool is right for you. Steve is testing an electronic battery de-sulfator to see if it will rejuvenate, restore and repair lead acid batteries that don't work anymore and make them work again.
