This book is so out of date that I am going to send it back and get a refund.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 This Chilton book is copyrighted 1994 and is, consequently, 13 years out of date as of this review (August 2007).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!


2 out of 5 stars 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).



1 out of 5 stars Lack of Information - WHAT A RIP OFF!   January 31, 2006

The book, "Small Engine Repairs" was from 1992 and earlier. When I ordered the book, there was no information on the book to tell me what years the book covered. I paid $19.95 for the book and shipping. When I returned the book I was re-imbursed under $8.00, half of what I paid for the book. I needed a repair manual from 1995 to current. I will tell everyone I know what a rip off amazon.com is! I could understand paying for return shippment, but half for a book I could'nt use? I am very dissatisfied with your services. Brenda
