 A comprehensive guide, but now dated February 16, 2009

Small Engine Repair is a comprehensive guide to the maintenance and repair of small engines. Covering maintenance, troubleshooting and repair through a complete tear down of most popular small engines, this book provides an in depth analysis and detailed specifications needed to complete the tasks needed to fully repair and restore most small engines. It is published by Chilton and should be useful both to the professional mechanic and the weekend warrior.
My only concern is that the book was published in 1994 and consequently does not cover engines produced after that time. It is now somewhat dated.
I highly recommend this book.

This book is so out of date that I am going to send it back and get a refund. It is useless. Michael

The "Product Details" Amazon lists for this book which states "Haynes Manuals, Inc.; 1 edition (September 25, 1998)" is WRONG. Haynes is a different publisher and their 1998 publication is a totally different book. This Chilton book is copyrighted 1994 and is, consequently, 13 years out of date as of this review (August 2007). I verified this by ISBN number to a copy I checked out from my local library. Further, 1994 is the current edition listed on Chilton's website. So, if your engine is newer than 1994, the data will not be current.
That said, this seems to be the most detailed and useful small engine repair book I have found. It may still be useful for some later models that may not have changed much. As previous reviewers have recommended, check your local library copy to see if the information might apply to your engine.

My husband was very excited to get this book - now if he would just repair all of the small engine things we have to be fixed it would be great!
 Dated material, marginal index February 23, 2006

I can't bring myself to be as harsh as the one star reviewers, but they more or less have it. If your engine is 10 years old or newer, you might be disappointed.
My other complaint is that the index is not very good. It is not comprehensive, and it is split up by manufacturer (the latter could be good or bad per search).
