do in today's video I am going to list my top 10 most time money and frustration saving tips from the last three years so before I get into all them tips and tricks I want to tell you why I'm celebrating this week well first of all three years ago today I had 21 subscribers I had pretty much given up making videos I only had a few on my channel pretty much nobody was watching them I would get like four views and I think my Facebook friends were tired of me begging them to watch them but all of a sudden in May of 2021 one of my videos took off and I started making videos once or twice a week every since then and this week we become 400,000 strong guys we are hitting 400,000 subscribers that is so crazy to me and amazing so yeah we're celebrating get you in a comfy chair get yourself a drink I'm I'm going to be giving some stuff away I'm going to let you know at the end of this video how you can enter to win because I'm going to be doing a 400,000 subscriber giveaway as soon as we hit it so let's get into all these tips and tricks now I'm going to blow through these 10 pretty quick but if you have any questions or want more of an explanation I have complete videos on every tip and trick I'm fixing to tell you I will leave them Linked In the description box below all right we're going to knock the biggest one out first why is your chainsaw hard to start now a lot of you have probably seen this video because it's been seen 3.2 million times which is insane to me but the amount of comments I I've received with people telling me thank you so much I can finally start my chainsaw it just warms my heart so I think it's one of the biggest things I should tell you if you have a chainsaw no matter what size but definitely something that's over 50 CC's you're going to want to pull the pull rope gently to get past that first compression stroke at least two to three times and then after you do that what that does is if it has an Impulse line or if it doesn't it's going to let a little bit of fuel into your carburetor then the next pull that's the important part that you need to do whenever you're going to start your chainsaw get past that first compression stroke and then release it just a little bit you can get past that first compression and then go to pull it let's turn it on I promise it is so much easier if you get past that first compression stroke I'm telling you guys those few gentle pulls while it's on choke just getting that little bit of fuel in the carburetor makes a world of difference while I'm at it I might as well address the elephant in the room in that video I guess a lot of you commented that you know I uh showed you my jigglies and I really didn't show them to you I was very far away in the video and you can't really get a good look but at the same time in 236 videos you all know I am either wearing cover RS or pants or long sleeve shirts but there are times and about 20 of my videos that I'm wearing some Daisy Duke looking shorts or a tank top and the fact is I live in Arkansas and in Arkansas it gets 100 degrees with 80% humidity and I was literally melting that day okay melting when I made that video with chaps on and everything don't mind the doll shoes I uh wasn't actually cutting with this Sal I was just starting it on the ground and turning it off but I had so many people comment on my shoes I'll do better in the future but I am am going to wear whatever I want in my videos number two the big secret about trimmer line do not ever throw your trimmer line away and always buy in bulk why because this stuff does not go bad all you have to do is soak it in a bucket of water overnight and it will rejuvenate a lot of Manufacturers like steel and Craftsman when they sold their trimmer line had it on the package to just soak it in water to keep it in good shape now trimmer line has gotten exponentially more expensive so the more you buy in bulk the cheaper it gets by a lot now you can go to the store today and buy a brand new spool of trimmer line and need to put it in a bucket of water to rejuvenate it why because stores get huge incentives to buy and bulk just like you do at the store at my small store I would get hundreds of dollars off if I bought 500 lb at a time so what happens when a store buys in bulk they let it sit around for sometimes years before it gets purchased so even though it's brand new to you you're buying old stock so if you find that it's melting or sticking to itself or breaking off constantly throw it in a bucket of water overnight I promise it'll help number three if you have a walk behind mower that sat over the winter time you go to start it this spring and it won't start do this little trick anytime a customer would bring something in that' been sitting over the winter before I even write the ticket I will go out I will raise the entire back handle up into the air to where the back tires are way up off the ground and I will give it a good shake what that does is jar the needle a little bit to come loose cuz sometimes it gets stuck and won't let any gas get through if it gets Jarred loose it'll let that gas go through from the float being a little off kelter and usually it'll start right up number four if you own a pressure washer and you are letting it idle for over a minute just a minute you are destroying your pressure washer and I know you're thinking I don't believe you well if you read the owner's manual and I will go really in depth in the video showing you where it says it you are not supposed to let your pressure washer idle for over a minute or it says you will burn your pump up and I would have probably 50 pressure washers com in a year that the engine would end up running fine and the pump was blown out and putting $175 pump with labor on a $350 pressure washer just wasn't happening I ended up with so many pressure washer engines it's not even funny if I could just put them on something else it would be cool but you can't so if you are running your pressure washer always have the one engaged if you need to stop and do something turn it off number five storing a two-stroke if you have a two-stroke that you plan on storing even if it's for years this is how you do it you are going to fill up the entire gas tank with straight to cycle oil and then you're going to prime it into the carburetor and through the fuel lines and back it returning it into the tank make sure it's everywhere in that fuel system if you do that you can leave your sitting for 10 years go back to it pour that oil out put in some fresh fuel prime it until all that oil gets out and gets through your carburetor it might smoke a little bit when you start it up but I promise you it'll run number six if you have let your machine sit over winter and you go to start it up and it will not start I promise you that it is not your spark plug I had so many customers that would come in and just want a spark plug to get their machine running in and 9 99.9% of the time it never was the spark plug now I did still sell a ton of spark plugs even telling them that it wasn't going to work but just so you know 99.9% of the time it's always a fuel issue the only time I ever really had a spark plug issue where I would have to change the spark plug for the machine to run was on some Kawasaki engines and on some of the Steels and I think Ekko started putting some of these small plugs in there too if you have one of these tiny little plugs with a tiny little end on it they will foul out on you especially in the Steels that hold so much carbon inside the engine along with that video of the top five things I sell that uh you do not need is a primer bulb a lot of people want primer bulbs thinking that that's the reason that their machine will not prime even though theirs doesn't have any cracks or holes in it they think that that is the issue but actually if your primer bulb is still intact it's always an issue with your diaphragms your fuel line or your fuel filter I just don't want you to spend money that you don't need to number seven there is an ethanol free fuel scam and if you haven't seen my video you need to know about this now I go real in depth in this video but if you have not seen it you might want to check it out I would have tons of customers come in and tell me that they use ethanol free Fuel and I'm like no my nose works and that ain't ethanol free I I got a good schn I can tell you it's not and I thought they were lying to me but the truth is is they might have not known that they were buying fuel with Ethan all in it when they went to purchase their fuel I'm not sure how it goes across the pond but here in America there are many states that have shared pumps which means the 89 octane might be right next to the ethanol free and they have the same hose coming down so if you go to pump your ethanol free fuel into your one gallon tank that whole hose that's still sitting there is holding whatever the last person pumped so if they pumped 89 you're going to get a half a gallon at least of ethanol fuel anytime you go to get your fuel for your small engines and you want to get ethanol free fuel make sure to pump that first gallon or so into your vehicle then you're safe to know that you're definitely getting ethanol free fuel number eight why does your chainsaw leak Bar Oil everybody's does it's really quite simple I would have tons of customers come into my repair shop every single year and ask me could you check and see why it keeps leaking Bar Oil and nothing was ever wrong with their chainsaws when you are using using your chainsaw it is throwing tons and tons of B oil up into the side cover if you do not remove that side cover and clean all that out it's just going to drip into your case also it holds pressure in the bar oil tank itself and there is not like a shut off to the line where it comes to your bar so you can relieve some of that pressure by just opening the bar oil cap and closing it back up and sometimes that will help out tremendously now in the video I go real in depth to it but pretty much it's just they all leak and unless it's leaking every single bit of its bar oil out you don't have an issue I have a better trick for you and it's going to be like why do manufacturers not put this on everything they sell one because they're in the business of selling parts and you know they're going to make their money one way or another but the fact is this $5 part can save you hundreds of dollars at the repair shop if you use it and all it is is a fuel shut off and 95% 90% of all the units out there don't have a simple fuel shut off on them some things you can't put it on because there's no room but the majority of things you can have a fuel shut off it it's like an awesome design why doesn't everybody do this I have no idea and all you got to do guys is cut your fuel line stick it in there put some clamps on there and when you go to turn your unit off especially at the end of the season it's pertinent now you're going to still want to use a fuel stabilizer in there because no matter what you do unless you actually drain the bottom of the bowl out and get all of that gas out there if you're just running it dry there's always remnants left in there just little tiny droplets of gasoline left in there that can cause havoc on your on your carburetor put your fuel shut off on use a fuel stabilizer when you get done using your mower don't turn it off turn your fuel off and just let it run until it runs out of gas I'm telling you that this will save you so much money if everybody did this I'd lose a lot of money at my repair shop to tell you the truth last but not least number 10 the most common problem that we see come into the shop no whether it's a two-stroke fourstroke riding mower chainsaw weed eater blower 70% of every single unit that we get into the shop has water in the fuel and that is the reason that it's not running I just sold a push mower this week that the customer picked it up took it directly home calls me like 30 minutes later and says it went two strips and then died and I said did you put gas in it they said yes and I said well I think he got a gas problem because I know it ran fine when it left here so bring it back and he put water in it if you have a gas can that's been sitting since last year get rid of that fuel do not put that in your car just get rid of it somehow because depending on where you live gas will just suck water out of the air even if it is in a closed gas can so I filled this little cup up with straight gasoline and let it sit on my counter for about 3 hours and it was a very humid day it was raining outside although it is pretty humid here in Arkansas all the time and the first thing you can notice is that it was condensating on the side of the cup like crazy pouring droplets of water into the little cup at the same time the gasoline was evaporating so you can actually see the level decline through this short 45 second you know in condensed video I've made of it which I thought was pretty cool but at this point you can see it completely clouds up it is totally full of water now and then I go ahead and pull out my little sucker and test it and check this out bottom is full of nothing but water I don't know how many times customers would say I don't know how it could have got in there but I promise you it's all always the problem if your machine won't start get one of these little pipets get down to the bottom of the tank suck it see if there's water in it if you have it on a carburated system you can release the boldnut let some drip out see if there's any water in it that way you know what your issue is because really guys 70% of the stuff we get into the shop has water in it so that's my top 10 tricks of my last 236 videos there's a lot more in there if you want to go check them out but hopefully those will save you some time money and frustration in the future now that we got those knocked out the way let me talk about this giveaway now I have to give a disclaimer before I start talking about it because I've had so many people get in contact with me that have been talking to scammers and they thought they were speaking with me anytime I give something away my comment section will get bombarded with spammers I will never ever ask you for money I leave a disclaimer at the end of my videos I do not have telegram I do not have WhatsApp I don't have any of those things I will announce every single winner on my 400,000 giveaway video I will not email you directly I will not ask you to email me until we get to the point of I will respond on your particular comment you will see my name chanic with a little check mark next to it click on that make sure it goes to my channel if it goes to some Channel with no content that's not me first I am not sponsored by anybody a lot of these products that I tell y'all to buy I buy them myself I use them I love them so much I feel that you might love them too so I like to share them with you but dep Tech endoscopes and you all have seen them if you've seen any of my videos I bought this one a couple years ago and have been sharing it on my videos numerous times because I love it so much A lot of times it goes on sale for like 38 bucks and so I tell everybody to buy it then um usually it's about 70 I love this thing I like to be able it's a little camera I'm able to go down into the cylinder to look at the cylinder wall and see if it still looks good it it's it saves me ton of time money and frustration and it it's I mean could be used in many many different Industries well I guess depech saw my videos and they sent me a bunch of stuff so I'm going to give it away to you guys first they sent me a ds260 m scope which it seems pretty cool it's a little handheld one with a smaller screen um pretty much probably does the same same thing that these do like I said these ones you can get online for 40 bucks I always leave links they also sent me the DS 580 this thing comes in a carrying case and all that thing's fancy and it's an industrial endoscope it I think the cable is a little bit more heavyduty than this one right here this is more like a wire hard one this one seems more flexible still has what is that a 5 inch display screen yeah so these are pretty sweet and I'm giving them away they also sent me this bad boy I think it's the depte 630 I don't know I'm going to have to look exactly which model it was like I said I'm not sponsored by them they just gave me all this stuff because um I I talk about them all the time but this one's pretty cool I'm going to leave links to all these in the description box below but this one bends at the end so I can go in and through turning it right here it'll do a 90 straight up or like wait 45 or something like I don't know anyways I can look up behind all right forward and it will twist all the way behind that's awesome also I like this one because the cable's like super short it's only I don't know it looks like it's about 4 feet this one has been great love it I highly recommend it but the cable is sort of ridiculous I would never use this this right here I don't I mean if you're like going down a wall or something or through pipes it's one thing but I I pretty much use about 6 in of it so yeah that was pretty cool for them to give me some stuff I'm just going to give it away all right and more things I have a bunch of hats I have some Briggs hats Vanguard this one's got a little bit of sawdust on it for me building my shop I've got some Echo hats I've got some husk Vara hats I am also going to give away an echo unit I don't know if you know whenever I closed my shop down I got stuck with a bunch of units that I couldn't return because I didn't have the boxes to put them in so I said I was just going to give them away when I had you know promotions like this so I'm going to give another one away I haven't decided whether I'm going to give a trimmer away or a chainsaw it probably depends on whoever wins what they might want because I got them I might as well give them away to somebody so all you have to do to enter to win is comment on the video comment on this video or any of the videos leading up to my 400,000 subscriber giveaway and in it it would be really cool
