We serve customers throughout Queenstown, Maryland, and nearby areas who rely on us to keep their outdoor tools running safely and efficiently. From basic maintenance to complex engine rebuilds, we provide honest, fast, and professional service without unnecessary upsells or delays.



Our shop is equipped to handle both two-stroke and four-stroke engines, and we work with all major makes and models.

Common Small Engine Problems We Fix

Our team is trained to identify and resolve a wide range of small engine issues, including:



  • Hard starting or engine won’t start
  • Rough idling or frequent stalling
  • Fuel leaks or fuel system blockages
  • Dirty or damaged carburetors
  • Oil contamination or burning
  • Broken pull cords or faulty ignition switches
  • Spark plug or air filter problems
  • Flooded engines or overheating issues


In addition to full repairs, we offer seasonal maintenance to prevent problems before they start.

Two-Stroke and Four-Stroke Engine Service

Small engines generally fall into two categories: two-stroke and four-stroke. Each type has its own maintenance needs and potential failure points. At National Restorations, we service both.

Two-Stroke Engines:

Found in chainsaws, blowers, and trimmers. These engines require proper fuel mixture and consistent maintenance to prevent carbon buildup and overheating.

Four-Stroke Engines:

Common in lawn mowers, log splitters, and generators. These engines require oil changes, valve checks, and carburetor cleaning to ensure smooth operation.

Our team understands the internal mechanics of each system and uses the correct procedures to restore them to working condition.

Diagnostic Services and Preventive Maintenance

Before we begin any repair, we perform a full diagnostic to confirm the cause of the issue. This prevents unnecessary part replacements and helps you make an informed decision.


Preventive maintenance is also available and recommended, especially for machines used seasonally. Our small engine maintenance services include:



  • Spark plug replacement
  • Air and fuel filter cleaning or replacement
  • Oil changes and lubrication
  • Blade sharpening and balancing (for mowers)
  • Compression and fuel system checks


Routine maintenance reduces wear, improves performance, and saves you money over time.

Pickup and Delivery Available
