I'd love to learn how to fix small engines, but none of my local tech

online? It's pretty hard to do a hands-on class online.

Like one poster said.......get a non-running engine and start there.
Once you find a fairly common engine (Briggs and Stratton), find the
model number and look at the parts diagrams online at no cost. Then
try to get it started. If you fail, come back and ask questions here.
Hell, many on here may take the time to guide you thru the diagnosis
procedures before you try to find the problem blindfolded on your own.

In reality, they are pretty easy to work on. All basic stuff.
