“In order to run, an engine must have spark, fuel, and at least 60 psi of compression. One or more of these prerequisites is lacking if a cold engine refuses to start after three or four pulls on the starter cord.”
Paul K. Dempsey, Small Gas Engine Repair

“Horsepower is the measure of work done over time. James Watt coined the terms in 1782 as a way of describing the utility of his steam engines. Watt observed that a mine pony, tethered to a capstan, lifted 550 lb of coal 1 ft. every second or 33,000 lb in 1 minute. A 1-horsepower engine would accomplish the same amount of work over the same time period. Expressed metrically 1 hp = 745 kW (kilowatt).”
Paul K. Dempsey, Small Gas Engine Repair

“Yet, for many owners these little engines are contrivances from hell, cantankerous, difficult to start, and impossible to fix.”
Paul K. Dempsey, Two-Stroke Engine Repair and Maintenance
