 I does have it's uses November 13, 2008
John Harp (OKC, OK)
I find that after I have worked on a Briggs & Stratton engine the pages of this book make fairly good paper towels. Wish I had paid attention to the other reviews.
 Better than usual TAB trash but not substitute for factory m November 12, 2004

Tinkering with old Briggs engines is fun and I've saved dozens from the dump over the years. This book is better than some I have read, but it's no substitute for the factory manuals for a specific engine or engine series. It does have some information the factory books don't, such as ways to get around needing some of the tools-although Briggs tools are not terribly expensive and are readily available.
This book is best used in addition rather than as a substitute for the factory data. Judging from other TAB titles, it could definitely been worse.

The book should be called overview of briggs and stratton engines. I found that the book lacked any usefull information for the home do it yourselfer. The book has little information on the primer bulb type carberator and little to no information on trouble shooting and solving problems of this type. His vage explanation as well as confusing illistrations has me regreting that I purchased this book.

Dempsey basically says, theres two kinds, lots of varation, and if you have a problem, take it to a shop.
Lacking in clear illustrations. Why did I need to spend $...to read this ? I gave it one star because 0 was not an option.
