Bobbie LaBrie does great small engine work out of his garage but you have to drive up past Laupahoehoe to get to him. He's in Ookala Gym Camp, go up the Hamakua highway (the road between Hilo and Waimea) just past the third horseshoe (gulch) and at the big rusty tin roof (the old Ookala Gym) and the bus stop, turn makai (towards the ocean) and take the first right. That will be Bobby's garage behind the hedge of the first house on the inside of the loop of houses there. I think he has a small sign half hidden in the hedge. He does really good work on all kinds of small engines.
