Was 91F in Columbus Ohio @ 18:00, HI 115F … and over 160,000 without power in Central Ohio from last night’s storms.
Thankfully lots of folks have basements up here, which at least offers some respite from the heat.

LS and Pop.
The engine is the easiest to start of all the ones that I have. I was worried for a start as new out of the box there was virtually no compression. A bit of 3 in 1 oil down the spark plug hole solved that. I have an electric starter which I used first up but after a run it is not necessary any more.
Yes Pop, it is gasoline and very frugal to run compared to nitro.
Looking forward to Saturday for the maiden. Weather looks like it will be ideal. 22 deg C and mostly sunny. No wind lately.

Does it run on regular pump gas? And how does the ignition work? A crank sensor to an external powered module? Sounds very cool.

The ride back from Richmond worked out well, we avoided all the weather and had a smooth ride.
When I got home home, I saw that UPS had left me an 80lb trinket.
A 9” auger with rock teeth to go through the shale that we have everywhere.
It it works as well as it’s 6” sibling, I will be very happy.

I had a dream....
and Buppies woke up 100 years ago and when he got to work his men were all using those jumping tampers,
a dozen guys hopping around.
wake up wake up
those are nice looking augers Paul.
Local shale, even granite will run and hide from them
Sure easier than a pick axe and heavy long bar
and user replaceable teeth.
makes you want to go out and dig a hole...

I need an auger like that on my phdigger. I often hit sandstone. Getting too old to fit the phd on my tractor now. Just too heavy but I need to put some new posts in for my entrance gate as I am fitting a solar gate opener. I think I will have to pay someone instead.

Pop, yes exactly that. Crank sensor magnet built into prop hub and it runs on 91 but not ethanol. 20/1 gas oil mix. A little electronic module is in the cowling. Here is a pic of a module and you can see the magnet in the hub and the pick-up sensor. Also the spark plug. Timing can be adjusted but I have never had to do that yet.
