Most Common Parts To Stock For Small Engine Repair – 2 & 4 Cycle Must Haves For Your Repair Shop

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

What spark plugs to keep stocked for most small engines (2-cycle & 4-cycle)

Common air filters for popular mowers, trimmers, and blowers

  1. 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!
