This new book is more than a simple engine repair manual. Designed for the beginner with little or no mechanical experience, Small Engines & Outdoor Power Equipment is a graphically appealing, step-by-step guide that covers all of the most important engine maintenance and repair skills you’ll need to keep your equipment running at peak performance. It also shows exactly how to perform mechanical upkeep and repairs on the most common outdoor power implements, including lawn mowers, snow blowers, chain saws, power washers, generators, leaf blowers, rototillers, wood splitters, lawn edgers, and weed whips. With clear ‘how-to’ photos and detailed diagrams, you’ll see exactly what needs to be done. A comprehensive troubleshooting guide helps you define problems and enact solutions. With Small Engines & Outdoor Power Equipment in your library, you won’t need to haul the lawn mower off to the repair center and wait a few weeks just because a filter is plugged or the old gas needs to be replaced. Among the many skills you’ll learn are seasonal tune-ups, changing oil, servicing spark plugs, cleaning filters, replacing muffler, servicing the fuel tank, overhauling the carburetor, servicing brakes, inspecting flywheels, replacing the fuel pump, and replacing a rewind cord.
A propos de l’auteur
Peter Hunn was introduced to small engines on his way home from elementary school when an elderly neighbor with a bad arm asked him to try firing up his lawnmower. Three determined pulls later, the rope-start mill sputtered to life and soon prompted Hunn to notice other little air-cooled engines, as well as outboard motors, about which he’s authored several books. The former owner of local radio stations in Pennsylvania and upstate New York, Hunn teaches broadcast and communication subjects at the State University of New York at Oswego and serves as principal at a Syracuse-area career and technical high school. In that role, he always enjoys chatting with students in the Automotive Technology class about their cars, boats, motorcycles, go-karts, and anything else with an engine.
