User Reviews....We were having carburator problems on chain saws and small generators
problems now have answers -- what we wanted
I purchased this book based on Amazon review samples and it looked like I would get a bounty of useful information. I wasn't at all disappointed by the expert writing, the author is entertaining as well as informative. But the quality of some of the illustrations is very poor. It shows diagrams that have been badly reproduced and details are filling in, some are too small to be useful and many others are way too technical parts break-downs that only a draftsman could appreciate and of no interest to a homeowner trying to repair his lawnmower engine. I am keeping the book because it does have much useful instruction for the backyard repair enthusiast. But considering the lackluster job the with publisher did with the illustrations, the book is limited in value. I sense that the author would agree. -- Great Writing, Very Bad Illustrations
The book is good for what it is, but my copy was 15 years old. New things have happened in small engines since then. -- adequate, but it is an older book
Clearly written, well-laid out presentation. Hope to make small engine repair a career since the Obama/Democrat economy will force me into a tent if I don't find something to cover my lost retirement next egg. -- Small Gas Engine Repair
