 **This page contains student notes as I learn to use preventative maintenance and basic mechanical skills, to keep my gasoline devices running. I'm not a professional or mechanic, so read the user manual of your device.** This page was started to repair my leaf blower, and maintain a small electricity generator, chainsaw, air compressor, RC car, and a few others. Taking care of one small engine gives you most the knowledge to take care of many of them. Which somewhat helps you maintain a full size automobile engine. You don't simply press an ON button, if you want real power out of a device then it often needs to be fulled by gasoline or propane. Some devices use alternative fuels, so I may list them later. My metal foundry, welder, and BBQ use propane but those aren't engines. As you learn to maintain a small engine, you'll learn about power tools and the function of a hardware store, which are all basic life skills for men and women. Something quick like renting a high power leaf blower for pushing piles of leaves, takes care and safety, and knowing what fuel and oil to use. Something well made like a lawn mower, doesn'​t vitally require delicate maintenance,​ but a little care will make it last a lifetime instead of one season. Most of this article will likely be a bulleted list of important instructions and things to beware of. This article may also help you diagnose issues with your automobile. **This page contains student notes as I learn to use preventative maintenance and basic mechanical skills, to keep my gasoline devices running.
