Summary: Check your library before you buy
Review: Don't buy this book unless you're absolutely sure it will help you. The other reviewer had it right, go to the library, match your engine with those covered. If you have an older small engine this book may be of use, if your engine is newer than 1994, good luck. Many of the diagrams are small and compact, a magnifying glass helped. If you have some knowledge of small engines it is a good publication as you'll know what is being discussed. If you have little knowledge, phrases like "drain the fuel tank" will you leave you wondering HOW to drain the fuel tank. If your library can't help, hire a small engine mechanic.

Summary: Chilton's Guide to Small Engine Repair (up to 20 HP)
Review: This is by far the most complete and informational book on small engine repair I have ever read. when I went to the library to get books on small engine repair, I checked out 2 or 3 books, including this one. When they were due, I only needed to renew one book -- this one! It covers everything -- from carburetor cleaning and maintenence to a complete overhaul. Contains technical information and specs (clearances, tolerances, spark plug gaps, etc...) If you are looking to buy a small engine repair book, buy this one! Covers Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh (2 & 4 stroke), Kohler, and more.
