<br/><br/> This book describes maintenance and repair procedures for handheld outdoor equipment powered by two-stroke engines. Tens of millions of weed trimmers, edgers, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, portable pumps, and small generators run on two-stroke engines. Because of the scarcity of factory service information and the temperamental nature of two-stroke engines, these devices are a source of constant frustration. Walk through any residential neighborhood on a Saturday morning and observe the cranking and fuming as owners try to get their weed-eaters started. Because of high labor charges--some small engine shops now get $70/hr - repairs are expensive. But, once demystified, two-stroke engines are simple devices and well within the technological range and capabilities of non-professionals to service. This book will show readers exactly how with detailed pictures and clear, concise, no-nonsense text.  Automotive technology.  Car repairs.
