Hi All,
As some of you may all ready know by some of my previous posts on here I work on small engines and I have become quite good at it ( not trying to bragg ) and I enjoy it . I'm considering a career change and become a small engine mechanic .I'm wanting to know what an average mechanic makes starting out and what I can look forward to making as I get factory ( let employer send me to school , always wanted to go and get certified anyway ) certified . I know that it is mostly a seasonal deal and pay can vary from employer , areas of country and what I'm certified on as well as years of experience . Any pros / cons to becomming a small engine mechanic and getting certified ? My experiences is mostly on Briggs engines, older models from early 1990s 10 - 14 hp OHV as well as regular valves , as well as older Murrays , some MTDs as well as Briggs push mowers . I have experience on Kohlers as well as Hondas . I have worked on transmissions took them apart and fixed them as well as changing them as well as changing motors . I have experience with electricial systems on mowers , cleaning carbs , etc. But , still I admit that I don't know everything . I have even ordered and bought a couple of hundred dollars worth of small engine speciality tools . I have even done work for people and made money fixing their engines . So while a job in a small engine shop maybe more faster paced and more headaches , it can't be too much different from what I do at home . Any help and advice is appreciated . As proof of my experiences with small engines , please watch these videos of me repairing a small engine , 4 or 2 cycle . I'm the one doing the engine repairs . A friend of mine does the electronics and computer repair . Some of you may have already heard of our Youtube repair channel called ESRepair , if not then please watch and enjoy and read all the comments . Yes , there are a few smart alecks out there but most post were complimenting us.
