Advanced Small Engine Repair

(Session 1)

March 24 & 25, 2010
9:00am-3:30pm

You have a basic understanding of small engines, but can you rebuild one? 

This two-day program uses a complete “tear down” and rebuild of a 4-cycle Kohler engine to demonstrate maintenance and repair of small engines. You will walk away with these skills: knowing why and how to adjust the governor, making carburetor adjustments, selecting the best oil and gas types for the season and for your equipment, and understanding and avoiding common problems like vapor lock. Your investment in this class will be your first step in saving countless repair dollars and time!!
