40mph speed barge with 100hp Yamaha outboard
Hey everyone!
While I undergo a full shop renovation, I have been dabbling with my new toy, a DJI drone. This is my custom built 17' pontoon with a 100hp Yamaha 4 cylinder, 4 stroke outboard. Not such a small engine! I built this boat with my father over the winter and it's exceeded all of my expectations. It is capable of carrying 3000lbs loaded, or a bunch of friends with optional removeable picnic table.
Stay tuned for more small engine content once the new shop is finished!

Stihl MS441C M-Tronic idle and revving after reset procedure. (Freshly rebuilt carb and solenoid)
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Год назад
This is a quick video to show what a Stihl MS441CM sounds like at idle and revving when running properly, after a successful M-Tronic reset. This saw just had a new fuel solenoid (green) and carb kit put in. All Stihl M-Tronic saws should have the same great rev pickup like this one! Enjoy!

Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
Hey everyone! This is how to manually increase or decrease the idle speed (RPM) of your Stihl M-Tronic chainsaw. Maybe you bought the saw used and someone has messed with it before? Maybe you're having a heck of a time diagnosing the problem because the saw wont run? This will help you set your saw to the perfect RPM (2800 rpm at idle). It may take a couple adjustments to set it perfectly. REME...

Hey everyone! I hope everyone out there is doing well! This video took a bit of time between diagnoses and ordering parts. This video shows an Eskimo brand ice auger which has a few issues: the pull cord is broken and the engine won’t start. Watch as I fix the issues and diagnose the real problem… and then fix it!

Snowblower doesn't throw snow far, losing power, and even shuts off!!! How to take off & clean carb!
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
Hey everyone! The used Toro Snow Commander single stage snowblower that I picked up isn't running like it should. This blower has the Toro R-Tek 7hp 2 stroke engine, and its not as powerful as it should be. Plus, it loses power and RPM sometimes and I have to stop blowing to let the RPM come back up before continuing. Super annoying! This is a common symptom of a dirty carburetor. This video sh...
What does the choke lever ACTUALLY do? Why do we need to use a choke lever?!
Просмотров 43 тыс.2 года назад
Hey Everyone! I thought I'd show a quick video of what ACTUALLY happens to your small engine carburetor when you access and move the choke lever. This applies to all small engines with a choke, but in this case, it is on a 7hp 2 stroke Toro R-Tek engine. The choke lever is attached to a butterfly valve inside the carburetor, which closes (almost) fully when the lever is actuated completely. Thi...
