I'll go ya one better. 30 years ago, I busted the gear reducer on the hand recoil starter, on my Yamaha GP633 Snowmobile. In the middle of a Wi. winter, of course. The reducer was just that, to make it easier to hand pull the the cord to get it started (No electric start back then) Took it to my uncle's house, to have the engine case Heliarc welded (It was an aluminum case, the reducer gear shaft pushed thru the case, cracking it. He had a window unit in the garage that looked just like a window mounted A/C unit, and it ran on fuel oil. My uncle also had a side business removing fuel oil tanks from homes that had converted to natural gas, so he got all his fuel for free, actually got paid to take it away. |
