Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on Youtube and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE “DONYBOY73”!

Great video. Very clear and concise. Thanks!
as usual , informitive and thourough
I have been at this for hours just trying to get the key to slide it. Every single video is the same and I'm about to lose my mind about why I can't
What year is this engine?
Hi, I bought the exact same engine and I am very happy with it. Since I have to replace the propeller, could you give me the right measurements: pitch and diameter? Thank you very much
Thank you was good to see this video
One of the best videos I've seen demonstrating how to replace the impeller. Thanks for including all the tips and tricks on what to look for while doing the job. Thank you…
After watching the video here I took apart my mercury engine (slightly older model) and got the impeller to sit properly in it's housing once again. When putting the lower end unit back in place it was tough going, but once I got the bolts tightened up I went to start the engine and the shifter wouldn't move. So I went to take it apart again to see what's the matter and now it won't come apart (but it will shift into reverse now). Not sure if I pry on the lower end unit or take it to a shop?
I have a late 60's red stripe 9.8 Merc but your video helped thanks.
You always do great repairs! Can't even understand why 40 dislikes?
Great job explained everything clearly !
Another fine HOW TO video by the small engine wizard, thanks.
What year is this motor ?
Dony, you truly are a master mechanic that has the ability to convey your knowledge to us students in the you tube classroom. Thank you for all the easy to follow and understand video productions. All the best and blessings from New Rochelle N.Y.
Superb Video! As Mitchell mentioned that he's a mechanic, well, I'm definitely not – but I feel that I can do tackle this job now that I watched your video. Fantastic job and Thank You!!
HI!I HAVE JUST THE MOTOR ONLY 7.5 HORSEPOWER,HOW TO CHANGE IT AT 9.8 WHICH PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED?
Your video on how to change water pump impeller on an old Merc outboard is tight! Loved it. Everything about it is spot on. Thanks for the DEMO and now its time for me to replace mine. I'll follow up with my outcome. Thanks Dony for your help.
thanks, one actually helped me!!!! 🙂
This is the best I have seen but when you put it back together you added a white tube to the water pipe ( I thing it was the water tube) but it was not there when you open it up the first time . Is this something you added to help Guide it back in and then it stays there?
Not to be repetitive… but thanks, great video!
You from Montreal?
Great video. Where do you order your parts from for this motor and where can I get that 3M grinder tool?
I own a mercury 60HP three-cylinder and have been told that Mercury outboards are usually hard to start. My motor starts right up usually even in cold weather. My motor is 1985.
Super vid , thank you , methodical for us newbies .
Great video Don. It helped me replace my impeller. I have a 1985 Mercury 7.5 hp outboard. It leaks oil out the propeller hub after I have used it, but it’s not coming from the gear case? Any ideas why this is happening?
Thank you for the close camera angles. It’s greatly appreciated.
