Starting the 'O'
 
It was a truly beautiful day here yesterday, sunny and 67. I decided to get the cubs out to breathe a little....

I opened the gas, pulled the choke and that little 7HP started right up on the first crank after sitting since the end of October. :biggrin2: Pretty cool. Didn't have to worry about jumping it or anything.

The 127 I'm going to have to look into a little....

Its always amazing to me how these Kohlers fire right up after sitting all winter:ThumbsUp:My 106 sat since about july,i had to jump it but it fired right up.

ya, I had already got the booster out and ready... It's just amazing to see that thing after 49 years and looks like nothing outside of a muffler done to it just fire up so so easy. :)

Duke,

I was mainly trying to satisfy a 16 month old who's bound and determined to be outside as much as he can. I just had them pulled out of the garage enough to get the exhaust out. The problem is Wyatt, my youngest, wants the 'O' which belongs to Owen, the 5 year old.... Owen would rather be on the GT2544 since it's got the blade.... so I don't know if that's a good problem to have or not. :)

Here's you a couple quick snaps of "nothing"... The way I figure it I can go 3 wide on each side to fill up the front nice. :) I'm going to start my search around April again. I've really got my fingers crossed about a good 149, but I dunno yet....
