Clearly written, well-laid out presentation. Hope to make tiny engine repair a career since the Obama/Democrat economy will force me into a tent if I don’t find something to take in my lost retirement next egg.

The book is excellent for what it is, but my copy was 15 years ancient. New things have happened in tiny engines since then.

Although I am far from practiced in tiny gas engine repair, I just can’t know all the positive buzz about this book. It is far from a reference work, being barely 200 pages of text, in tiny format. Frankly, additional than some basic pointers on piston, crank, and valve replacement — which are generic to any gasoline, diesel, or natural-gas powered engine — there is small to recommend it as a useful guide to single-cylinder gasoline engine REPAIR.
It is particularly missing in its presentation of any useful insights into diagnosing the many (at times) inter-related problems involving spark, carburetion, aspiration, and timing which can lead the less-veteran into fruitless tear-downs lacking resulting in a repair. Lacking a useful diagnosis section elucidating the point impairments due to faults in the aforementioned four sub-systems, nor any point tests to separate their effects, mere dis-assembly and re-assembly technique alone are small more than shop tips, certainly not deserving of the title “Tiny Engine REPAIR”. Perhaps a more descriptive title might be, “Useful Tips in Dis- & Re-assembly of a Tiny Gas Engines”.
In synopsis, the leader shares some of his experience gained in the mechanical aspects of engine tear-down and reassembly, but either does not share — or does not himself know — how to efficiently diagnose their ills in order to prescribe a proper cure.

I bought this book based on Amazon review samples and it looked like I would get a gift of useful information. I wasn’t at all disappointed by the practiced writing, the leader is entertaining as well as informative. But the quality of some of the illustrations is very poor. It shows diagrams that have been terribly reproduced and details are filling in, some are too tiny 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 leader would agree.
