Tools with Takashi: Small Engine Maintenance and Repair Workshop
June 11, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free
From homesteading to farming and ranching, nearly all of us use mechanized equipment to help us get the job done. Weed whackers, chainsaws, lawn mowers, generators, just to name a few motorized tools, are so heavily relied upon that when they break it can be devastating!
This workshop, led by Grange School of Adaptive Agriculture instructor Takashi Yogi, will cover the basics of internal combustion engines- what are the parts and pieces, common failures that can be repaired at home, and how to provide basic maintenance that keep them running longer and better. Learn the theory behind 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines, and how to troubleshoot and dissemble the components.
This workshop will take place in the GSAA classroom where participants will see diagrams and hear the theory, and will continue in the shop at the school where participants will have hands-on opportunities to see how these engines work!
