Department H, Division 890 – Small Engines
*H890940 – Complete Small Engines Are to have been repaired, reconditioned or overhauled in 4-H Small Engines Project. A story listing source of engine, use of engine, repair of parts list and cost is to be included and protected in a notebook type cover. Gas tanks are to be empty when entered at fair. The engines will be fueled and started as part of the judging criteria.
All engines should be mounted on a base. Complete lawn mower exhibits are recommended where the engine is equipped with an aluminum flywheel because the blade is important to the smooth operation of the engine. Engines with cast iron flywheels will run smoothly without attachments on the PTO shaft. Engines must be equipped with a throttle control. Note: engines will be started.
*H890941 – Small Engine Display should show parts or systems of a small engine, cut-aways of engine or systems, worn or broken parts, step by step procedure of how to perform repairs or maintenance, etc. Use needed labeling, short written description or explanations, drawings, etc., to explain what you are showing.

*H890942 – You Be the Teacher, Small Engines - Create an activity, story board, game or display that would teach another about small engines.
