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