Another proof of this spell that lies on me, when it comes to combustion engines:
I fixed this horrible engine, took it completly apart, even lubed all bearings and cleaned the exhaust. Got it to run on the workbench, one pull and it purred like a cat (:rolleyes: can't stand this noise at all)
Installed it back on the "chassis", wanted to try it before I put the blade back on ..... nothing, not one single darned puff. I pulled, primed, checked for flooding, swore, pulled, pulled .... kicked the stupid thing, good night.
The next day when I came back from work, my wife told me she started it on the first pull :W: Gosh, that's baffling. But since the blade was still not installed, she couldn't use it.
Guess what? Yepp, exactly, put the blade back on, refueled it, ... I don't have to tell you, right? You guess it. At least I have an excuse to never ever touch that wretched thing again.

:mad:


Serum, this RoboMower made me think. I still have a stock Maxx, originally I wanted to turn it into a race-Maxx, but the Revoxx covers that nicely.
Why not modifying the Maxx to some trailer capable truck, who can pull around stuff, like mower units. Gear it low as heck, use some narrow wheels, and customize a robomower-like trailer.
Of course this would be only suitable to cut short grass, (not the Jungle I am cultivating at the moment) but it would be a ton of fun, and I could do it every second day or so.
