Learn the fundamentals of small engine repairs and servicing in this hands-on practical course. Learn what makes two-stroke and 4 stroke engines work, explore the tools and parts involved in successful repairs and identify performance measurements and preventative maintenance.

For the Small Engine course please bring with you a small engine such as a Lawnmower, weedeater, chainsaw, small outboard, or anything small you may have lying around the home that needs attention. We also recommend that you bring your tool kit, although there are shared tools on site.
