Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is by far the most complete and informational book on small engine repair I have ever read. when I went to the library to get books on small engine repair, I checked out 2 or 3 books, including this one. When they were due, I only needed to renew one book -- this one! It covers everything -- from carburetor cleaning and maintenence to a complete overhaul. Contains technical information and specs (clearances, tolerances, spark plug gaps, etc...) If you are looking to buy a small engine repair book, buy this one! Covers Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh (2 & 4 stroke), Kohler, and more.

ATV Basics: Techbook Manual (Haynes Techbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good manual for learning the basics of ATV maintance. That is it's only draw back it only covers the basics. As a new owner of a used ATV I did find information in the book that helped send me in the right direction. This book would also be good for someone looking to buy a used ATV. It has a section that tells you what to look for and how to check out a used ATV before buying.

Two-Stroke Engine Repair and Maintenance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is the ideal solution for those that are mechanically inclined and like to fix their own tools. The book is written very plain and simple language with excellent picture examples. I fix small engines but have always been befuddled by the two stroke engines. I have never fussed so much about fixing the things before, but this book breaks down the information with practical knowledge as well as theory on the operation of the engines. The book is well worth the money.

Small Gas Engine Repair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent book all the way through. Great diagrams and explanations on how to repair most small engines. Well written and very useful to the DIY repairman.
However,
If you're looking for a book that shows you how to change a spark plug, this is not the book for you. There are much better books out there for beginners and light tinkerers.
This book assumes that not only are you mechanically proficient and have the tools to repair it yourself but also posess a basic understanding of how small engine mechanisms work already or can figure it out without too much effort.
Not to say the average homeowner won't find it useful, but the author doesn't go in-depth or hold your hand through what should be moderately simple procedures for someone with basic experience in mechanical repair.
That's what makes this either a good book or a bad book. If you know or can stumble your way around engines, this is a great book that gives you the information you need to properly repair many different models and makes.
If you're someone whose lawnmower broke down last weekend and you thought it might be fun to fix it yourself but you don't have a lot of tools or experience on repairing engines then there are probably some better books out there.
I like this book simply because the author doesn't waste any time (or paper) explaining things that you should already know. Think of it like Small Engine Repair 201 instead of Small Engine Repair 101.
I'll probably hang onto this book for as long as I have small gas engines I may need to repair since it makes such a great reference book.

(More customer reviews)The book should be called overview of briggs and stratton engines. I found that the book lacked any usefull information for the home do it yourselfer. The book has little information on the primer bulb type carberator and little to no information on trouble shooting and solving problems of this type. His vage explanation as well as confusing illistrations has me regreting that I purchased this book.
