Welcome to our channel, your ultimate resource for launching and growing a successful small engine repair business!
Want to stock your small engine repair shop with the right parts—without wasting money or shelf space?
In this video, we break down the most common parts every small engine repair business should have on hand when working on both two-stroke and four-stroke equipment
Whether you’re fixing chainsaws, trimmers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, push mowers, tillers, or generators, having the right parts stocked can mean the difference between a quick turnaround and a lost customer
We DO NOT cover riding mowers or zero turn mowers stocked items in this video. That will be a later video to cover the part’s we stock for these as there is a big difference in what to stock for these larger machines than for the smaller stuff
We go over the exact spark plugs, air filters, primer bulbs, pull start cords, and blades we keep stocked—plus the most-used part numbers for popular equipment brands.
You’ll also learn about our go-to engine oils
Keeping the basics on hand helps speed up your workflow, boost customer satisfaction, and increase profit
In This Video, You’ll Learn:
What spark plugs to keep stocked for most small engines (2-cycle & 4-cycle)
Common air filters for popular mowers, trimmers, and blowers
Which primer bulbs and fuel lines are used the most
The pull cord sizes we keep on hand
(We normally do not stock pull cord handles, we have always just pulled used ones off junk equipment and given them to customers)
Blade types to stock for common push mowers
Recommended 2-cycle oil and small engine 4-cycle oils
Whether you’re running a full repair shop or just starting your side hustle, this video gives you the knowledge to be prepared for the most common jobs right from day one

Very informative brother thanks for sharing 👍🏻
I remember when Champion had the bad plugs going around but that isn’t a problem nowadays! But primarily any Asian brands of motor NGK is exactly what they need plus the number on their plug is the heat range ! European stuff usual has Bosch plugs ! Just stay away from Autolight it’s hit and miss ! But internal parts stick with the manufacturer or if you half to Oregon is usually worth checking out the price and availability!
Fourth time to watch 😊😊😊
Where do you purchase parts from. Im looking for a supplier
Great info.
