    • Good product.

    • Amazing Book
Format: Paperback
We got this for home schooling this year. We are so impressed with how easy to understand it is. It also has great pictures for those of us who are visual learners!

    • Easy to understand, lots of pictures and diagrams.
Format: Paperback
Got this book as a gift for my 14 year old grandson, he is interested in all things mechanical. He has enjoyed playing with the lawnmower and weed whacker and using the book as a guide. So far everything still runs, so I guess he's doing OK. I explained to him that not all engines are the same, but the principles still apply, so learn the basics and build from there. He is enjoying learning, and I am enjoying watching him build his confidence and library of knowledge. Nothing beats hands-on experience and instant gratification when you pull the cord and the engine fires up! I think it's the only Christmas gift he got that he is still using. ... show more

    • Excellent Book
Format: Paperback
The illustrations and photos are very clear and pretty. The structure from chapter to chapter is amazing. The topics and steps were done very well. A lot of the components are shown cross-sectioned and that gives this book a big thumbs up.

    • Only 4 pages of 2 stroke engines????
Format: Paperback
I mainly bought this book to learn the insides and outs of all my two stroke power equipment and how to properly maintain them, but this book is dedicated to lawn mowers in specifically. It's a good book for first time lawn mower mechanics but not so good on 2 stroke engines. The book is highly detailed with useful information and properly used diagrams but for MOWERS only! I was a little disappointed to find that it only covered 4 pages of 2 stroke engines with 4 pictures. I guess I'll put this book aside until I need to do some maintenance on the mower. Oh well. ... show more

    • Great learning book.
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for a friend who is always asking for help with small engines. I can say anything on the phone but he has no knowledge of what I’m talking about and limits my help. After looking through this preview I decided he could benefit from the pics and illustrations in this as much as the technical information, since with quarantine restrictions I can’t run to his aid like I used to. He loved the book and said he understands what I explain to him better now. Like he said, it doesn’t beat my 30+ years of experience, but he doesn’t feel like he’s lost now. ... show more

    • I wanted a good small engine book for my budding mechanics
Format: Paperback
I wanted a good small engine book for my budding mechanics, ages 8 and 10. We love this book! From the excellent, high quality photos to the really great quality illustrations to the simple to understand, yet thorough text; it is a book that is easy for a beginner to grasp, yet thorough enough to gain a comprehensive understanding of exactly how an engine works. I was on a budget, and so was a little hesitant to spend the $17 for a new book, but it was easily worth that or more. My 10 y/o son now has first hand experience of taking an old nonworking snowblower apart, making some repairs, and experiencing the thrill of blowing snow with a machine that he worked on with his own hands! ... show more

    • Will have to supplement with another book.
Format: Paperback
Read the whole book. Learned a lot but I think I'll have to supplement with another small engine repair book. I want a book that will show me and tell me very clearly how to fix something, which is hard to find. Kind of like a Haynes manual for vehicles where the photo and/or the text isn't enough to convey the message fully. Will be able to do a lot of basic repairs and maintenance with this book though. Good enough for now. ... show more
