Since it was nice out, I thought I would go ahead and start up an engine! I chose to run my rough Babe Bee! This was long overdue so I recorded a video of it!

For a rough bee it sounds pretty good. Are you holding the 2x4? Next step it to put wings on it! Very Happy

I hope you have some more run ups in the near future.

I have a big red tool cart that I used wheel out and mount my engines on (it has all my larger beam mounts on it), its too much of a pain in the to always pull it out. So for the last few years, I have just been mounting them onto 2x4s. They make great weed eaters if you have a little trimming to do LOL.

Its something I mixed up like 2 years ago LOL. I think its Byron 1/2A 25% with the castor oil content bumped up to 20% from 16%.




About a minute after I turned off the camera, it started raining and storming. Strong winds, hail, backyard flooded (it rarely ever floods) and everyone's power went out but mine.
