Might be too technical,

This review is from: Two-Stroke Performance Tuning (Hardcover)
When I found this book I was hoping that it would educate me on how to actually tune a motor. It covers more of how to build a tuned motor. If I were to ever take up engine building I would highly recommend this book. If you are Joe kart racer or Bob moto racer I would put it low on the get list, as it doesn't really give much fingertip tuning tips.Jeremy

the best "how to" book I own,
This review is from: Two-Stroke Performance Tuning (Hardcover)
A Graham Bell Gives you what you're paying for; his expertise, advise, and experience. He provides results of his own experiments, formulas, and rules of thumb. I have been very happy with this book, and I am still riding the result!

Great Book on Understanding Two-Stroke Racing Engines,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Two-Stroke Performance Tuning (Hardcover)
Excellent primer on understanding the workings of two-stroke engines for racing. If you are a novice/beginner then this book is for you. There are only a couple books like this ever made and that makes this one well worth the money. I learn a little more every time I read it.
