The fun of working a mower can not be understated, one afternoon in a quite workshop we pulled down a 2stroke. Shaved the head, ported and polished, removed the governor, put it back together and p*ssed our selves laughing for the next 2 hour with a mower that revved so hard even a rotary would have been jealous

A amte of mine made a roots type blower as an mechanical engineering prac piece. He bolted it to his mower and it lasted for about 5 minutes before the piston shattered.

I believe he ended up putting it on his sons mini dragster.

Great idea for getting through the jungle backyard I have....hmm where did I put my spare turbo :spoton:

Never went the turbo route with a lawn mower, but myself and a mate where planning on supercharging a lawn mower once... We had the lawn mower ready (an old one sitting at school which our metal work teacher said we could keep...) unfortuantly we then ran out of our non-existant money...
