Yeah Jay - I fell in love with Hondas when I worked in construction. I've pulled on those big old Briggs engines 'til I couldn't breath. Honda's are expensive, but they are money savers on the jobsite.
One cold morning, we all took turns cranking on an old genny with a big Wisconsin engine. It had a crank like a Model T Ford. Everybody had taken a turn and failed when the foreman started making fun of us, saying he'd show us how to crank that thing. He was a big old brute, and he could really whip that crank, but he was pulling the crank out of the socket as he spun it. It finally came out and spun around and hit him right on the chin. He fell like a big oak tree and just laid there like he was dead. We were laughing so hard we couldn't even check to see if he was breathing. We drug him over by the fire barrel and he finally came to. Every morning after that I'd ask him if he'd start that genny for us and he'd just glare at me. If looks could kill. . .
I used to tell the guys that you had to crank it 'til the water boiled - and some of them would look all over for the radiator cap.
