12:03 AM rue_mohr: zhanx, ... oh crap, my print
12:03 AM furrywolf: the manual even tells you you'll need two hands, and shows you launching a rocket.
12:03 AM furrywolf: because that's about how hard you have to pull it.
12:03 AM rue_mohr: does it ever snap-back?
12:03 AM rue_mohr: reverse kick?
12:03 AM rue_mohr: thats how you tear a shoulder off
12:03 AM furrywolf: yes.
12:03 AM furrywolf: which is why you don't use ether. :P
12:03 AM * rue_mohr cringes
12:03 AM furrywolf: no problems without ether
12:03 AM furrywolf: well... not as many problems.
12:03 AM furrywolf: sometimes it tries to rip your arm off anyway.
12:05 AM furrywolf: easiest way to add electric start would be bolting a random car flywheel onto the output shaft with a random car starter on a fabbed bracket.
12:06 AM furrywolf: a starter from a 4-cylinder gas car engine __might__ be able to crank that that over TDC. maybe.
12:06 AM furrywolf: bbl, wolfy bedtime
12:18 AM rue_mohr: they didn't oput gears on the inside of the flywheel eh?
