Got zapped by my Engine !

RAT ROD AL said

Reminded me of my high-school shop class.
Teacher had an artificial leg.
We would get him to test the spark . He would hold the wire & we pull the cord on
Lawnmower engine ! It was funny to see his leg kick out. Think he enjoyed it, he never declined.

A lawn mower has a good spark energy to it. An old landlord of mine was trying to start his mower up. He’s pulling and pulling away like mad getting angry. I walk out the door and ask if I can help. So, I just went through the basics of an engine needs of air, fuel and spark. He had gas, we are breathing through a decent filter, let’s check spark I say. In his enthusiasm, he pulls the cord while I’m holding the spark plug wire.

ZAP!

OUCH!

Well, you got spark so start with getting new gas!
He says, The gas is good, I bought it last summer.
I assured him it was the gasoline and I was right. He grabbed a fresh gallon and presto! He’s cutting grass with a smile on his face.
