 Good book that goes into a lot of detail December 22, 2007

I looked at several small engine repair manuals and I was unimpressed by them. (The Haynes book is particularly disappointing) This one goes into a nice level of explanation of how something (e.g. a carburetor) works, the various types available and then how to trouble shoot it. Knowing how something works is crucial to really trouble shoot an engine.
I am an engineer so I like how this book describes the items function. Obviously some level of technical understanding is necessary to really appreciate an engine manual. But if you don't have that appreciation - you probably aren't trying to fix your own engines. So if you are looking for such a book, I can easily recommend this one.
The knowledge I've gained from this book has also helped with larger pieces of equipment - like full-size tractors. The older tractors (like my John Deere 3010) use the same basic components.
great book for understanding gasoline engines!!! June 2, 2008

This book starts out with the simplest 2-stroke engines, explaining different carburetor setups, and goes up through more complicated 4-stroke engines. This book would be a great basis for learning about gasoline engines in general... It also has advice on general maintenance and troubleshooting. Very informative book for learning HOW these things work so that you can fix them.
This is it! March 13, 2010

I had completed the a small engine repair course via correspondence courses. I didn't want to invest the money in the education, but I spent the money anyway because I wanted to learn and I couldn't find a class in my area. After taking the class, I purchased this book and read it from cover to cover (and have done several times since). There is more useful information in this book and if I had purchased this book and studied it, I would have learned more than I did through the $700 course that I took. I can't say enough good things about this book and the value it will add to your library. The book covers all the main things that you need to learn to fix small engines. Excellent read.
You won't regret buying this book. May 24, 2010

Last winter, when my snowblower engine began stalling and running erratically during successive 15" snowstorms, I finally got serious about learning how to do something when my power equipment acts up, other than drop it off at the repair shop. After looking at several books locally and on Amazon, I decided to try this one based on the reviews here. It has not disappointed.
This book explains all of the basic functions and components of small engines clearly, and with many illustrations. While the book's layout and some of the illustrations appear a little dated, both older and newer technologies are covered--for example, mechanical and electronic ignition systems, and several newer types of carburetors. The book also offers troubleshooting guides and tips for preventive maintenance.
I've not had a chance to read the entire book yet, but the chapters I've read have have been great. The explanation of two-cycle engine designs and operation is the best I've ever seen, and cleared up some points I've been confused about for years.
Highly recommended!
