In this class the basic fundamentals of the 4-cycle internal combustion engine are explored.  Troubleshooting skills are taught along with engine overhaul.  Students must have their own engines to disassemble and reassemble.  Students may overhaul the engine into working, usable condition but it is not necessary.  Students will be responsible for any cost required to repair the small engine.  Four-cycle engines on lawn mowers, rototillers, and snow blowers are acceptable.  Tecumseh and Briggs & Stratton are the most common and desirable engines.  Students must also provide coveralls, rags, cans, and a pair of safety glasses.  Safety glasses may be purchased from the Skilled and Technical Sciences Department.
