Where to learn ATV repair???

[kilgore42027]

are there dvd's, or an online school or books? I am dying to work on ATVs as a career but I am just starting out. there are literally no small engine repair schools in my whole state, KY.

any help is appreciated. : )

Grab some old lawnmowers and take em apart. Do some freebee work at a lawnmower repair place or motorcycle shop. Ask around if people need help

I learned by working on my own stuff, watching other friends work on theirs, and reading forums. Hince why I am on so damn many of them lol.

there are some tech courses for auto but absolutely none for small engine and the auto courses are at a college WKCTCS that claim they are for working people BUT ONLY OFFER THEM DURING THE DAY!!! how dumb is that? if they claim they are for working people they should offer things at night cause working people work during the day!!!!

thanks for the advice though. : )

At this point I would grab some small engines. Most people give away rusted out lawnmowers or leaf blowers (4stroke or 2 smoke) because it costs too much to change the motor into a new frame and grab a shop manual. Do a complete tear down change some parts if needed and rebuild it. If it starts and runs you know 75 percent more than those sitting in a classroom who paid $$$

look into motorcycle mechanics instute ... or you can buy or borrow some atv manuals and read up on them ... i like to read durring the real cold part of the year and when it pouring rain ...i have a small shop and do alot of work on quads and motorcycles ... i also buy non running quads and repair them for resale and part some out on ebay .. you can learn alot from doing thoes things
