Small engine repair

Small engine repair

Small engine repair is a vocational occupation that involves the maintenance and repair of low-power internal combustion engines(gasoline/petrol) or electric engines. Equipment repaired includes chain saws, string trimmers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, lawn mowers, wood chippers, go-karts and sometimes more powerful engines used in outboard motors, snowmobiles, and motorcycles. While often touted as a separate job by commercial vocational schools, it may also be a skill someone uses as part of a larger job, such as rancher or park ranger.
