Book Reviews of How to Repair Briggs and Stratton Engines, 4th Ed.

Book Review: Better than usual TAB trash but not substitute for factory m
Summary: 3 Stars

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.
