Richard: On the second read thru. Good detail, pics, information. Highly recommend even to experts. Worked on all sizes of engines for over 30 years. Learned much and reinforced what I knew.

West Desert EnthusiastsWest Desert Enthusiasts: If it helps me to gain the the correct thought process on approaching work on these engines I may update my rating, but being used, abused and sent out to me is plane crap. I’m sick of the waisted time and gas to return junk like this !!

AB: I assist mechanics with diagnostic via phone daily, since two stroke diagnosis is my livelihood I can say that this book was worth the read. This book is great for beginners with little experience or homeowners looking for a better understanding of their equipment. I had to check my ego and exercise some patience to approach this read as if I knew absolutely nothing about two stroke engines and in doing so I gained new perspectives and knowledge I did not previously have. This book provides a very solid base to grow from and I would recommend this to any of my apprentices to help them as they stumble through the learning curve that is two stroke engines.

Roy Ewel: Great for nebis plus a little helpful for advanced.

RJ: Good quality, informative and a must have for the complete novice. Step by step info and diagrams supporting it. A little insight into the workings of the two stroke engines.

Ali D: Simple terminology, well explained and actually very relevant to the everyman, whose doesnt want to spend the money on servicng/ repairing the already expensive two stroke tools. I have a chainsaw, strimmer, hedgetrimmer and a small 100 cc quad which have all beneifted from the purchase of this book. I had an old hedgtrimmer which I inherited. After a week or so of tinkering at nights and a new spark plug with this book by my side, it was working as good as new! I have very little mechanical knowledge and could still pull off this, so for that reason alone it gets four starts! Im holding back on one star as it would have been benifitial for the pictures to have been in colour I feel.

Matt Marshall: While I'm only a software engineer, I am also relatively mechanically inclined and wanted to wrap my mind around basic maintenance for my 2 stroke equipment (i.e. trimmer, chain saw, mantis tiller, etc.).

After reading this book twice, I walked away with much more than basic 2 stroke maintenance abilities. I would now feel comfortable tackling all but the most complicated of repairs on my 2 stroke equipment. The author, Mr. Dempsey, definitely brings the nature of 2 stroke engines, the technical details and terminology, and much more all within reach for those inclined to work on equipment. While making things like the kinds of tools or techniques a professional would use to diagnose and handle many repairs understandable for laymen, the author also provides a myriad of tips and tricks for identifying, diagnosing, and in some cases actually carrying out an effective repair without spending hundreds of dollars on a tool that you may use once in a lifetime (and he at least makes it clear, while still instructing on how you could do the complicated repair yourself, that there are some things you likely want to take to a professional, as they'll already have the expensive tools...

Mr. Brian R. Dougal: Small 2-stroke garden tools fall into the category of being relatively inexpensive to buy but are nevertheless complicated to maintain oneself & prohibitively / uneconomically expensive to have repaired professionally.
Therefore a book like this is very useful.
The best aspects for me are that it is very general, it explains HOW the parts work, so one is prepared for whatever actual item needs repair. To try to offer a specific-to-model "Haynes" style book would be a lost cause for small cheap 2-strokes. There are hundreds of model types on the market. Even a specific item eg Manufacturer ABC chainsaw model XY123 will be found with various carbs, ignition components etc.

Other good points are the excellent writing style and a sensible & appropriate level of detail.
However it is clear that the American author never expected the book to be read outside the USA, but this matters little.
