Midget engines are light, for a 4-cyl iron engine. In my younger days
I pulled a sprite engine (sans head, trans, accessories) by hand. That's
right, no pulleys, no rope, etc (though I did have my brother on the other
side). And this wasn't a bugeye, it was a MK II. I'd say, though, it wasn't
a really smart idea, and in retrospect I probably wouldn't do it again
(and I'm not 19 anymore either).
