    These were all the rage back in the 90s. Pretty cool, but what can you do with it? Seems like it should be mounted in a scale model car or something.

                  I'll figure it's likely just electromechanical. Like GM HEI. Or, like a coil pack and crank sensor thing.

                    Sounds like it was idling a little high.

                          Very cool. I'm amazed it runs, and can only imagine how hard that must have been to build. Wonder what the fuel source is too. Too bad it sounds like a weed eater Still an amazing thing though, something I couldn't do for sure.

                            My buddies dad builds those. It really is impressive to see in person. I like the steam locomotives he builds.
