Clean Honda/bowl carburetor, Powermate generator
I go through, step-by-step, the process of how to clean a float bowl (sometimes called a Honda style) carburetor. You would probably want to try this if your small engine is hunting and surging while idling. This particular carburetor came off of a generator but they can be on most other 4-stroke small engines-such as lawnmowers, tillers, snowblowers, etc.
disassembly and cleaning (starts :56)
reassembly (starts 8:17)
It's a good idea to do this before the first hurricane or winter storm of the year!

Replace Starter Pulley, Ryobi Leaf Blower/Vacuum
How to replace the starter pulley on a leaf blower/vacuum. If you are pulling on the starter rope and the engine isn't engaging-the flywheel won't spin-you probably need to replace the starter pulley. This particular machine is a Ryobi (Homelite) but is a similar idea for most leaf blowers. - (RY 09055)

Replace Chevrolet window crank 1973-1987 (1986 C20)
A quick tutorial on how to remove a window crank to get the door panel off or if it's just old and pitted. This is on an old Chevy but pretty much every manual crank is exactly the same as far as I know.

Replace Chevrolet vent window handle/latch 1973-1987 (1986 c20)
I replaced the driver's side vent window latch (same process for the passenger side) because it was old and worn out. The gaskets were dry rotted, cracking, and falling apart. There was quite a bit of loud whistling in the cab as I was driving. Plus it was very cold in the winter!

Replace Chevrolet oil pressure sending unit 1973-1987 (1986 C20)
The oil gauge on my truck wasn't working until one day I saw it flicker to life so after some research I found that the oil pressure switch/sensor might be the problem. I couldn't find a video of how to replace the oil pressure unit on a 1986 c20 so I made one myself. It's a 305/5.0L but should be the same on most sbc! (c10, c20, c30 and k10, k20, k30)
