I work for a professional ski area, we have a rope tow which was built out of an old dump truck. It's got 2 1" dia. manila ropes running between the tires of the dualie wheels, and over a bunch of old car rims mounted on telephone poles. It's got an electric motor now, but used to run off the truck's engine. It's been running 9am to 10pm every winter day the area's open since 1964.
I worked on those,crap engines for seven years,i had to,it was my job,and then thank the gods of this world,honda came along,and saved me from killing my boss,what on earth retard yanky,designed this crap lump man,Alloy bore,and steel rings???did he never think,Hmmmm,wonder if that hard metal,will damage that soft alloy bore,,dont think so,no wonder you can only sell you junk,in the states man,hehehe
Did that say;;briggs and stratton,on the motor,I would rather try to suck my own knob,than put my trust in that yanky,alloy bore,shit carbed junk,,how they ever sold any of those shit engines,escapes me.

Thats a nice looking old Briggs. Wish Briggs still offered the custom color option. Cool amber/gold color.

interesting stuff i wonder how much it costs
gas is already 10% ethanol as long as you have 3/4 of a tank you can add pure ethanol to your tank and further dilute your gas!!
