5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money., March 12, 2010

By	Love to Read "Jason" (Richmond VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two-Stroke Engine Repair and Maintenance (Paperback)

This book is the ideal solution for those that are mechanically inclined and like to fix their own tools. The book is written very plain and simple language with excellent picture examples. I fix small engines but have always been befuddled by the two stroke engines. I have never fussed so much about fixing the things before, but this book breaks down the information with practical knowledge as well as theory on the operation of the engines. The book is well worth the money.
