  • lololol 2:03 blowing smoke rings xD nice engine man :D

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • kritky dunt stall it lol

  • add ether ;)
