Best Well Illustrated And Understandable Book I Have Found

If you never understood how small gas engines work and want to learn, this is the book for you. After having read this book, I was able to clean, repair and replace all gaskets and valves on a a 1967 rototiller, properly set the idle and fuel mixture for that machine as well as a Stihl chain saw, and properly care for two lawn mowers. The book is dated, somewhat, but it is extremely well illustrated. If you own older mowers, chain saws or lawn mowers, the illustrations may duplicate what you own and, if not, small engines all work on the same basic principles-- so that you can easily figure out what to do with a new machine in most cases.This was a " Popular Science" book for those old enough to know what that means!!! Enjoy.
