Wish it would have been better:
The book should be called overview of briggs and stratton engines. I found that the book lacked any usefull information for the home do it yourselfer.

His vage explanation as well as confusing illistrations has me regreting that I purchased this book.
lack of govenor info:
Dempsey basically says, theres two kinds, lots of varation, and if you have a problem, take it to a shop. Lacking in clear illustrations.
