Small engines

Lawn mowers, snow blowers, personal water craft, go carts, model airplanes, and ATV's are just a few of the literally hundreds of machines around us every day powered by small gas engines. In this project you will have hands on experiences that will help you understand how small engines work and how to keep them working. Put some spark and fuel into your 4-H experiences and sign up for Small Engines!
