Book Reviews of Repairing Your Outdoor Power Equipment (Trade)
Book Review: You won't regret buying this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
Last winter, when my snowblower engine began stalling and running erratically during successive 15" snowstorms, I finally got serious about learning how to do something when my power equipment acts up, other than drop it off at the repair shop. After looking at several books locally and on Amazon, I decided to try this one based on the reviews here. It has not disappointed.
This book explains all of the basic functions and components of small engines clearly, and with many illustrations. While the book's layout and some of the illustrations appear a little dated, both older and newer technologies are covered--for example, mechanical and electronic ignition systems, and several newer types of carburetors. The book also offers troubleshooting guides and tips for preventive maintenance.
I've not had a chance to read the entire book yet, but the chapters I've read have have been great. The explanation of two-cycle engine designs and operation is the best I've ever seen, and cleared up some points I've been confused about for years.
Highly recommended!
