Hello! Don’t know if this is the right community to post this question, but maybe you can help.
I want to learn about cars and engines. I’m a pretty mechanical person and I like to tinker. I can do basics, like changing my own oil etc.
I want to do some hands on learning, but I don’t have a ton of money to spend or space to work in. I was wondering if you had suggestions on something small and affordable I can get to learn about engines. I was thinking a lawn mower or a scooter but I don’t know how similar those would be to a car.
Do you have any advice?
I haven’t seen a 2-stroke mower in over 40 years.
Those are some great ideas about finding a non-running engine for free, tear it down and see how it works.
Seeing the crank rotate, the piston move, and the cam timing the valves opening - that was fun to do as a kid.
