Small Engine Technical Forum

[Bruce]

A technical forum gives the opportunity for everyone to interact, exchange ideas, solutions and above all, ask questions. It also makes it possible for other small engine and generator experts to input their knowledge on a given problem. I may also ask the input of my friends in the industry to contribute to the forum from time to time.

I don't have all the answers and enjoy learning right along with the rest of you. So, let's all interact and learn together. Our goal is over time to have many experts in the trade stopping by and contributing to the forum. You can help by giving as much information about the problem engine as possible initially, including any ID numbers.

We need to set up some rules, so everyone can benefit from our technical forum. You do not need to register to browse the forum, but will need to register if you want to post in it. New people registering must list the words Small Engines in there Interest Field or they will not be activated and be deleted. This is to help control the constant flow of registrations by people that have no interest in small engines or posting about them (spammers). Abuse of the rules below may result in you being banned from the forum.

1 - Let's try to keep the discussion to air-cooled engines and gensets. Off-topic (OT:) or promoting your own agenda may not be allowed. A certain amount of off-topic discussions will be tolerated, such as area weather reports, trips etc, but links to porno, drug, casino websites or political discussions, unless they pertain to small engines will not be allowed.

2 - When discussing a specific engine or genset, include the model, type and serial numbers to help identify the unit to forum members.

3 - Suggestions for manuals or tools to make a job easier are recommended. If you're in need of prices, please visit a dealer. This forum is primarily for technical discussions or questions on products. It is not set up for buying and selling or advertising commercial links. If you are trying to find an obsolete or hard to locate part, you may ask in the forum. Trying to use the forum to get the best price on common parts or engines will not be allowed.

4 - As the forum administrator, I may move entries around to give better flow or delete them if they don't contribute to the discussions. Accusations, personal attacks or derogatory comments will be promptly deleted.

5 - If you're in the trade or have a small engine website, you may include it in the forum if you wish. Registering just to advertise your website will not be allowed, especially non-small engine websites. This type of registering and posting will be removed.

6 - This forum is frequented by small engine students and technicians of both sexes. Lets keep our post clean and show them the respect they deserve. All forum information will be reviewed for appropriate content and removed if it is not appropriate.
