Starr "], "item_description" : "Before you buy another part, find out why your engine won't run.The mower starts, sputters, and quits. The chainsaw worked last season but refuses to cooperate today. Your generator sits ready for an emergency-until you try to start it.You pull again. Change the plug. Search for a video. Someone says it's the carburetor. Someone else says it's the ignition coil.Soon, you have several possible answers-and no clear idea which one fits your machine.What should you check first? What does the result mean? And what should you do next?Those are the questions a useful repair handbook needs to answer.You do not need to become a mechanic overnight. You need a practical way to understand what you are looking at, check the likely causes, and make your next decision with something better than a hunch.The Only Small Engine Repair Handbook for Beginners by Austin K. Starr helps you build that approach.Using the See It, Do It, Check It method, this illustrated guide connects component identification with practical checks and clear next steps. Start with accessible inspections, understand what your findings suggest, and learn when further testing-or professional help-is needed.Inside, you'll learn how to: Give a no-start problem a sensible starting point. Work through fuel, air, spark, and compression checks instead of treating every symptom as a reason to buy a carburetor.Approach carburetor work with less uncertainty. Understand the parts, document linkages, and follow cleaning and reassembly guidance without relying on memory.Recognize the differences that matter between two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Understand their lubrication needs and avoid mixing up maintenance procedures.Investigate ignition and shutdown problems. Learn how testing can help distinguish a faulty component from a problem elsewhere in the system.Make sense of hard starting, surging, and lost power. Connect symptoms with possible causes and work toward an informed repair decision.Build better maintenance and storage habits. Give your equipment consistent attention before small problems interrupt the next job.Videos can show you a repair. An organized handbook gives you somewhere to return when you need to review a step, identify a component, or decide what to investigate next-at your own pace.Keep useful references close at hand.Four practical appendices include a model-number locator guide, quick diagnostic flowcharts, printable maintenance records, and a repair-or-replace decision worksheet.Written for homeowners and first-time DIYers working on mowers, chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, and portable generators, this guide also explains the importance of model-specific specifications and recognizing your limits.The next time your engine stops, give yourself a clearer place to start.Put this handbook beside your tools-and make your next repair decision based on what you find, not what you guess.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/440/9798164409852_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "22.99", "online_price" : "22.99", "our_price" : "22.99", "club_price" : "22.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
