Now, that sounds like the voice of experience. I knew a kid
one time who ran an ungoverned lawn mower to get to town and
back. A couple times, until it over revved, and broke.

We recently had a thread about getting home on paint
thinner, when the gas tank was near empty. I've heard gas
engines run well on a spray of WD-40.

Because the propellant is basically Propane - which gets the kerosene
lit. Bulg WD40 won't light worth crap.
