[tmgearhead2]

just how much beer does it take to crank that engine? 

[nndorconnetnz]

One word. Frustrating. If that engine does not start on the next go...

[skaaltel]

love the smoke rings!

It appears to have a bit of air in the fuel lines though.. assuming he's pumping the primer to make it run the whole time

[skaaltel]

love the smoke rings!

well it wont start easy but it might just end up saving your life

Why would so many of you rather not have this motor in your life boat, I wonder? Sure, a modern motor which starts at the flick of a switch would be nice, but back when this motor was designed, that was not an option. If I found myself in the middle of the ocean in a life boat, and I had the choice between this engine and none at all, I don't think I would complain too much about its reliability of starting.

[Naturepheonix]

But this is a life boat. How would you heat the bulb if you were mid atlantic and your ship just sank? Nice boat and motor though.

[marchovens]

[alkhy]

[hmsmariano]

[paul8246]

[sidecrank]
