Peter Hunn. It's common for homeowners to have 2- or 4-cycle small engines in their lawn and garden equipment, utility vehicles, recreational vehicles, generators and other machines. With this easy-to-follow, richly illustrated handbook, homeowners will be able to understanding small engines, troubleshooting them and working on them. The book has a brief history of significant and popular small engines and a guide to setting up a home workshop in which to work on them. It also includes case studies on the disassembly, maintenance, repair and/or rebuilding of: a 2-stroke lawnmower engine, a 4-stroke utility motor, a 2-stroke chainsaw engine, and a curbside junker. The writing is lively and entertaining and the color photos clearly show how to work on these useful engines. Library Journal Building on his childhood love of tinkering, Hunn, the author of half a dozen books on outboard motors, hopes to infect others with his joy of small engine restoration. [An interesting addition is a compilation of company histories, a bit unexpected in a repair book.] A breakdown of engine parts and mechanics is followed with six restoration case studies. Despite all the interesting side stories about small engines, the level of instruction is not for the novice. Many manufacturer-specific repair manuals, such as Small Engine Care & Repair: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maintaining Your Smaller Engine, offer much more depth. Recommended only for larger collections.
