Having trouble with your lawnmower, snow thrower, chain saw, or other gasoline powered machine? You've come to the right place. Whether you own a Craftsman riding lawnmower, a Murray push lawnmower, or an Ariens snow blower, they all have one thing in common; the gasoline-powered small engine that drives them.

As a Small Engine Repair Tech I've fixed tons of lawnmowers, snow throwers, and other small engine powered machines over the years, until I retired in 1995. It didn't take long before I started to miss those lawnmowers, snow blowers, and chainsaws. I began thinking about all the lawnmowers that owners could have fixed themselves. The snow throwers that just lacked maintenance and the chainsaws that only needed saw-dust cleaned from the filter. You see, it doesn't matter if it's a snow blower, a chainsaw, a lawnmower a water pump, or a log splitter; the gasoline-powered small engine is the heart of them all and most owners could do their own maintenance if they only knew what I know. So I decided to put my years of repair knowledge into a book so you would never have to pay for preventable small engine repairs again.

In 1996 Small Engine Tech Tips was born. It's a do-it-yourself guide to servicing the small engines that power lawn mowers, snow throwers, chainsaws, and other gasoline-powered machines. Available in e-book format, the book deals primarily with the small engine, because that's were most of the problems occur. Not only does Small Engine Tech Tips offer in-depth information on how lawn mower engines work, it also teaches you how to service and maintain them, how to trouble-shoot common problems, and how to perform simple repairs on lawnmower, snow thrower, and chainsaw engines. As an added bonus, I share many of my personal tech tips to help you keep them running smoothly.

The popularity of "Tech Tips" prompted me to write a second book and in 2002 I added Small Engine Carburetor Tips to the list. Although still written in language that even a novice will understand ,"Carb Tips" is a more technical manual that deals with carburetor troubleshooting and repair.

So, whether you have a broken lawnmower, snowthrower, or chainsaw, or just want to keep your machines in top working condition, Small Engine Tech Tips and Small Engine Carburetor Tips can help you get them running and keep them running smoothly for years.

Here's a partial list of machines that my books can help you service: Murray lawn mower, Toro lawn mower, garden tractor, chainsaw, Scotts lawn mower, garden tractor, Yardmaster lawn mower, leaf blower, chipper/shredder, Honda lawn mower, generator, Snapper lawnmower, weed trimmer, Lawnboy lawn mower, trimmer, Craftsman lawn mower, garden tractor, chainsaw, log splitter, Kohler generator, Husqvarna chainsaw, lawn mower, and many, many, more, John Deere tractors and lawn machines.
