@thatscrucial69 oh yeah I knew that would happen, I just wanted to make it run and didn't have any hose laying around, it worked for a few months actually, course I ran it fully out every time so it didn't eat at it all the time.
Sometimes you have to put a flywheel or a large pully on the bottom of the shaft so it can run smooth. They like to put aluminum flywheels on the top so if you hit a root with your lawn mower it won't bend the crank so easy. We had to do that when we put a centrifugal clutch on one. It wouldn't run at all without a blade.
@petro062 yeah this engine would run with out anything bolted to the crank on the bottom actually! but it ran far too fast with no throttle at all :P I put a 5 pound barbell weight on it and got it as centered as I could and it runs great and no real vibrations from it. so it works perfect to kill moles
Didn't you know gas makes silicone expand and dissolve?????
