Get Peak Performance from Two-Stroke Engines
Do you spend more time trying to start your weed trimmer than you do enjoying your backyard? With this how-to guide, you can win the battle with the temperamental two-stroke engine.
Written by long-time mechanic and bestselling author Paul Dempsey, Two-Stroke Engine Repair & Maintenance shows you how to fix the engines that power garden equipment, construction tools, portable pumps, mopeds, generators, trolling motors, and more. Detailed drawings, schematics, and photographs along with step-by-step instructions make it easy to get the job done quickly. Save time and money when you learn how to:
- Troubleshoot the engine to determine the source of the problem
- Repair magnetos and solid-state systems--both analog and digital ignition modules
- Adjust and repair float-type, diaphragm, and variable venturi carburetors
- Fabricate a crankcase pressure tester
- Fix rewind starters of all types
- Overhaul engines--replace crankshaft seals, main bearings, pistons, and rings
- Work with centrifugal clutches, V-belts, chains, and torque converters

Worth the money.

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.

Two stroke engine demystified
19 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have a two stroke snow blower which wouldn't start during this winter of numerous snow storms.I didn't expect to become an expert concerning two strokes,but I wanted to understand what the carb. looked like inside in order for me to try to clear the clog in the jets-which is usually the cause of engines not starting.Well, after researching the carb I came across a simple tip to get the engine running with out removing any components.I tried it an voila the engine came to life.Needless to say more difficult problems would require a more intensive research and perhaps component change.If you have sufficient tools and patience this book is well worth the investment............
