Do a search for at home small engine repair. Something from Briggs, Tecumseh or Popular Mechanics should turn up.

Two-cycle or four-cycle. There is quite a bit on four-cycle engines, but I have found very little in print on two-cycle stuff. The best there is in the out-of-print bookstores.

Take care,

IVE LOOKED AT BRIGGS AND THE OTHERS WEBSITES THEY USALLY DONT GIVE MUCH INFORMATION ON REPAIR BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO TAKE IT TO THERE REPAIRS SHOPS. I HAVE A CHILTON SMALL ENGINE BOOK IT COVERS MOST. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION EMAIL ME AND I WILL LOOK IT UP FOR YOU. AND IF IT HAS PICTURES THEN I WILL SCAN IT AND SEND IT DALE

I did a search and found www.haynes.com for manuals ( about $12 ea at autozone auto parts). They show manuals that are available on small engines in the motorcycle and motorcycle specialty pages of the site.

Hi, thanks everybody,I have a couple of manuals,I was hoping for a website that had a trouble shooting guide or maybe a FAQ section. It just seems that most of the time my machines don't follow the manuals when they break down. THanks again,Daryll

Something you might want to try. Do a search w/ the name of the particular machine. There seems to be owner clubs for darn near everything that was ever made. Those are people who really know the machines also. Good luck.
