  • I wanted a good small engine book for my budding mechanics
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

  • Best book on small engine repair on the market.
This is by far the best book for the beginner, diy'r, or a good refresher for someone who's getting back into small engine work. Awesome illustrations and clear explanations. It does not bog you down with mechanical theory and technical terminology. This should be in all high school machine shops. Lots of information on 4 stroke, very brief chapter on 2 stroke but the information will still take you far on them. ... show more

  • Easy to understand, lots of pictures and diagrams.
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

  • Only 4 pages of 2 stroke engines????
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

  • Amazing Book
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!

  • Excellent Book
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.

I like how it is laid out and easy to read for a student. Very informative and clear instructions, although my husband found an error or two in it.
