Book Description
Dempsey delivers an updated, practical, step-by-step guide to repairing Briggs & Stratton engines, which power a wide variety of lawn mowers, garden tools, go-karts, air compressors, and other light utility units. This edition includes the latest information on both new and old engines, as well as a new section on engine components and types. Since the latest edition of this book was published in 1984, Briggs & Stratton has phased out conventional ignition systems and added two new engine lines. Both of these receive attention, as do phased-out models for those operating older machines. There is comprehensive information here about torque specifications, running clearances, emissions control, and part numbers of redesigned and updated components that can be retrofitted on older engines.

 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.
