Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Repair manuals


Question
Where can I find repair manuals and parts lists for the engines made in China that are on a lots of the lawn equipment sold now?

Answer
I have not been able to find any manuals for the China made engines.  Parts are also very difficult to find and parts are not interchangeable with the Honda look-a-like China made engines.  Harbor Freight sells a lot of them and the engines are so cheap they are hardly worth fixing based on the hourly labor rate.

If all the engine needs is a carb cleaning you can usually get them running again.  If you need a bowl gasket or inlet needle seat you are better off buying a new carburetor off Ebay.

Have you checked Ebay for parts?
