Automotive Maintenance





Tonight we visited Dale LaBounty's small engine repair shop to get the basics on the workings of an internal combustion engine. Quiz your scout, what is a piston, what does the carburetor do, what are the four strokes of a 4 cycle engine?

Thanks to Dale, we saw the inside of an engine and learned a great deal that will help the boys earn this MB and save them thousands over the course of their lives. There is lots more to do to earn this MB. Calculate the cost to own and operate three different cars for starters.
