Expert Profile: Tom Adinolfi

Expertise:  Can, and will, answer most questions pertaining to small engine repair, and service. But PLEASE furnish me with the proper Model numbers, and types to assure me to be able to answer your questions the most accurately as possible. If the problem is dealing with the frame, drive, or deck portion I need the manufactures numbers, if it is the engine itself, I need it's make and model numbers, rather than the frame's. Tom

What do you like about this subject?  It challengers the mind. Everyday brings a new problem, and a different solution. I truly enjoy helping people through my experience.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Everyday is a learning experience, once you think you have all the knowledge something will come up that proves you wrong, you learn with each new day. I just hope to keep learning, and sharpening my skills.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  If they only knew the correct way to store their small engines at the seasons end, some of us small engine shop owners would be looking for new work....

Thanks very much for your response. I will try to get that done as soon as possible and see if that helps out. A new carb cannot be that much though
