Service Information
The best reference is the manual that likely came with your engine. This
will have the specific information needed to service it as well as the
recommended preventive maintenance tips. Many engine manufacturers now
have the user and service manuals for specific engine/equipment models
on-line as well as extensive general maintenance and troubleshooting
information, and parts identification and ordering.
The Lawn-mower-shop.com
Web site has a great deal of useful information including diagrams of
popular carburetors, rope starter repair, and links to small engine
manufacturers. There is even a "slide-show" illustrating complete
disassembly of a typical small engine. This may be all you need for
many popular engines.
The following are good for general information but may not have the specific
information for your equipment. However, the combination of the original
user or service manual and a small engine repair book is probably all you
need.

(From: Jim Nelson (jgn@ameritech.net).)
This is an excellent book about B&S engines.
I don't know any old galoots who can teach me this stuff, so I always end
up at the bookstore. This book I had to buy to identify the missing
controls on a B&S driving a mortar mixer I bought cheap.
