Other Uses for Lawnmower Engines?

Posted by Cliff on Friday September 21, 2001 @10:12PM from the waking-up-your-neighbors dept.

heliocentric asks: "I recently cleaned out the garage, and discovered that I am the proud owner of 4 working lawnmower engines. Considering I neither have kids, nor am I one myself, the Go Cart idea which was quick to come to mind, left just as quickly. I'm wondering if the Slashdot community might have some good plans for some spare 5HP lawnmower engines (preferably links to plans as well as ideas)? I am a fan of the junkyard wars as well as BattleBots and all those like them as well I consider myself decent with the welder etc.. But I don't want to make something to harvest hay nor is there local Battlebot group so I am open to other ideas. Think big, think small, but please keep it legal."

You could build a honda civic.
The civic doesn't have more that one lawnmower engine in it.
I should know, I drive one :)

Great... the world's only lawnmower that hovers above the grass. There must be some kind of darwinesque award for intelligence. I'll assume you're being sarcastic for my own sanity.
