VIDEO: Small Engine Maintenance & Repair Part 4


Join Chris Link and Richard Freudenberger as they teach us how to save time and money by doing our own repairs on small engines like lawn mowers and other small machinery. Diagnose and repair common problems with 2 and 4-stroke engines. Avoid costly repairs by learning maintenance, proper fluids, and appropriate settings to promote long lasting use. We will have hands-on learning of actual processes so you can feel empowered to tackle your own equipment issues and keep machines running better for years. In part 4, Chris begins by explaining the 4 stroke engine and goes over maintenance and troubleshooting.

  1. Yeah, I watched all 4 parts, so far- just to see the carby stripped down….
    It seems that’s Part 5
    Yes, please bring it on.
    Much appreciation and goodwill from ‘Downunder’- Australia.

  2. Why recommend starting fluid? Starting fluid is quite explosive and can cause damage to the piston and rings. I recommend carburetor cleaner because of its low volatility and capability of it to burn slower. If I have a no-start engine, I simple spray a little carb cleaner into the intake/carburetor and if it starts, there's a fuel problem. If it doesn't, then it's likely spark or compression. The reason I do this first is because the number one reason any engine fails to start is – fuel – with all else being secondary.

  3. i dont like this guy i think hes a bad teacher….4 videos and seems like hes just beating aorund the bush and making things far mroe complicated than they are..i watched another video it it had everything this guy said probably and explained way better in one video. Check spark plug for spark, gas might be low on and clean carberator. this is the kind of guy that would drag shit on in a class to make you feel like you got your moneys worht when that week long class couldve been done in a day. clown. anyways from a bit of this and other videos im going to try my hand at small engines trial and error im sure ill do fine but thanks to Ron the other guy in this vidoe explaining things clearly.

  4. When you're checking the spark plug and are starting it with the spark plug removed, to see if theres a spark, is there any concern of the gas exiting through the open spark plug slot?
