Do you fix chainsaws and....

[Old2stroke]

The conversation usually goes something like this: "So I hear you fix chainsaws, can you fix my grass trimmer/lawnmower/leaf blower/pressure washer/beltsander/shop vac/etc. etc." I like to restrict my repair jobs to anything with a 2-stroke engine but I love repairing stuff so if things are quiet in the workshop, I will work on damn near anything. Where do you draw the line?

C'mon over. My wife has a whole bunch of work I don't wanna do.

I work on anything that needs fixed and I have a very broad skill set. I like to work and I like to fix things.

We who are handy with this kind of stuff are often handy in other areas as well. It's mechanical. Some brains process it, see how it works or goes together, and "just get it". Others need a manual to figure out how to put gas in a car.

Depends who it is. I’ll offer to fix saws for my friends but I do not give them an ETA. I’ll tell them it might be a week and might be 6 months. Can you do without this for 6 months?

If someone ask I tell them I would have to look at it first. If my wife or one of my family members are around when I'm asked, they'll blurt out he can fix anything. Then I think to myself, OH Great I'm done.

I enjoy small engines as well, including trimmers and lawn mowers. I worked on many a mower when I was younger and they are rather simple to diagnose and repair. Most of them are quite bulletproof being 4 strokes. Almost all the ones I had an issue with were fuel delivery related. If I got a mower that was seized I wouldn’t attempt to repair it.

Close friends and family and good neighbors I usually do work for free unless it’s blown up. I don’t get much work at all and I enjoy doing it

Just repaired electric dryer yesterday. Does that count?

 

[Gord404]

Saws only, that keeps me busy enough.- unless of course it's our own personal stuff.

 

[Ironworker]

No. No, is a complete sentence.

I have said something very similar to that before,
in the parking lot of a mammary bar.

I rebuilt an engine in a car once for a relative and got three tomatoes. Then I wasn’t invited for Christmas Eve when my family was invited. Nice family. Haven’t been in touch since. Over 30+ years ago. I heard my aunt feels sorry but that doesn’t fix stupid. My brothers went and my family stayed home, you can choose your friends but not your family. I fixed engines in three of there cars. Free labor on my dime running around.
