Small engine repair is a
vocational occupation that involves the maintenance and repair of
small engines: low-power
internal combustion engines (gasoline/petrol) or electric engines. Equipment repaired includes
chain saws,
string trimmers,
leaf blowers,
snow blowers,
lawn mowers,
wood chippers,
go-karts and sometimes more powerful engines used in
outboard motors,
snowmobiles, and
motorcycles. While often touted as a separate job by commercial
vocational schools, it may also be a skill someone uses as part of a larger job, such as
rancher or
park ranger.
