I repair neglected power equipment. This channel was started because I found a lack of good content regarding portable generator repair and wanted to document some of the things I came across to help others dealing with similar issues. These videos are detailed and long, but would rather leave the details in to help those who are learning. Do what I do at your own risk. Generator voltages are lethal. Small engines can cause serious injury. Gasoline is explosive and moving parts can cause serious injury. Always use power equipment outside. This is not an instructional video but meant for entertainment. I am not a trained small engine professional or certified in generator repair.

Someone tossed this Little Wonder Leaf Blower in the trash. The 5hp Briggs flat head engine rotates, but has little or no compression. Lets find out what the problem it and get this machine back up and running again.

Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results. #SmallEngineRepair #SmallEngine #DIY #Fixed #Troubleshooting #HowTo 5hp, Briggs Flat Head, Briggs Flathead, Broken Bolts, Broken Exhaust Bolts, Carburetor Rebuild, Fixed, High Leakdown, How To, How-To, Lapping, Leaf Blower, Little Wonder, Low Compression, Push Blower, Repair, Small Engine Repair, Small Engine, Troubleshooting, Valve Adjustment, Valve Lapping
