You saw one of these?    Here’s where it gets good  My father bought this in the late seventies. I put fresh gas in it this morning and after a good bit of yanking and fiddling with the choke, she fired right up and runs like new. |

Thats pretty cool, when you see something like this you realize how much things have changed. I didn't realize that they had them that early on either.  |

I have to assume you shorten the length of the tube knowing you got it running for your wife?

She wanted to swing it like a sling blade. She can be down right dangerous.

Since this is now a Sling Blade thread, in a movie full of favorite scenes, I do believe this is still my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AynXoLjYrKc |

that clip reminds me last winter now my daughters ex-fiancee (they broke up, sold house together, 2 months prior to wedding) he said the 150 dollar old JD snowblower I bought them in northern WI was running fine then all of a sudden died on him snowblowing a bad storm. Got up there a week or so later to visit, first thing I did was check for gas. YEP, EMPTY. I fired it right up and ran fine. Man, who woulda thunk gas engines require gas to run? |

Sounds like she dodged one heck of a bullet by not marrying such a "Winner". |
