Auto Tech 2 Small Engine Repair

This is an entry-level course of study designed to acquaint the student with the small four- and two-cycle gasoline engines used to power a variety of equipment. Ranging in size from 4 to 25 horsepower, most of these engines power outdoor power equipment but are also used on construction and recreational vehicles, and a host of other equipment requiring portable rotary power. The student will practice diagnosing engine failures and practice repairing a small gasoline engine. Students will also apply these concepts as they build a functional go-kart. Students will follow standards set by SkillsUSA and the National Outdoor Power Equipment Association as they apply STEM concepts in the automotive shop lab.
