         I discovered the same as Gary did with the Tecumseh engine on my R=
upp go-kart when I was 13 or 14.&nbsp; After about a year of this the flywh=
eel exploded, with the heavy magnet portion deciding to end its union with =
the rest of the lump.&nbsp; I felt a big impact behind my right shoulder ju=
st before the engine suddenly lost power.&nbsp; I was damned lucky that the=
 chunk with the magnet (which must have weighed 2 or 3 lbs.) bounced off th=
e steel tubing supporting the edge of the sheet metal seat pan,&nbsp;saving=
 me from a serious&nbsp;injury.&nbsp; I found the piece about 30 feet away =
in the grass.

             Glen, that's great! My dad built me a go-kart out of plywood a=
nd an old reel lawnmower when I was around that size or a little bigger. I =
discovered my first speed mod: it went lots faster if you tied a string to =
the throttle and pulled it open past the governor. Turned out not for very =
long though, a big BANG clang-a-lang-a-lang after a few hot laps of the yar=
d. My first motorized device and the first engine I blew up. Ungrateful lit=
tle hellion. Fortunately there was no photographic evidence or body cams to=
 capture the guilty look.
