Outdoor machines
Mowers, saws, generators, washers, compressors and tractors — hour-based servicing and the part numbers you can never find.
Small engines nearly all fail for the same three reasons: stale fuel, a blocked air filter and neglected oil. These sheets are built around those three, with a specification block so you stop looking up the same plug gap every spring.
