That run on a regular basis and about 20 more engines that run that run from time to time. Biggest issue is bad fuel and dead batteries. Converted my flywheel motors to propane they will always start now

2 weedeaters
2 portable generators
3 antique generators (marine DC light plants)
4 Evenrude and Merc outboard motors

1 portable water pump
1 pressure washer

That's about 40 engines. But then I probably should add the dozen or so cars, riding mower, push mower weedeater, chainsaw, snowblower, etc. I help my daughter & son in law maintain. No wonder my wife says I frequently seem to smell of gasoline(!)

and about 50 antique outboard boat motors
 
More than I can keep up with, that for sure-

I've kind of made peace with that, and when I need one, I do this-
Disconnect fuel line from bottom of tank and drain old gas from tank
Spray Carb Cleaner into the fuel line (toward the carb).
Spray Carb Cleaner into the air horn of the carb.
Re-connect fuel line, then spray enough carb cleaner into the tank to make a showing on the bottom of the tank.
Give starter rope a pull, and in all cases, it has started for me on the very first pull.
Shut it off, and put some new gas in the tank.
Re-start, and go till or mow or whatever.
 
4 tractors
1 bulldozer
2 trucks
2 antique lawn tractors
1 lawn tractor
1 zero turn mower
1 chainsaw
3 weed eaters
1 blower
1 generator
3 tillers
1 pole saw
1 power washer
 
2 suv 2 pickups 1 car 1 semi and grain trailer 5 tractors 1 lawnmower 2 chainsaws 1 weedeater 1 generator
 
1 car 2 pickups one is diesel 2 grain trucks one is diesel i combine diesel one row crop tractor diesel 1 lawn mower 2string trimmers 1 rotor tiller i ice auger 1 chainsaw 1 snow blower 15 old two cyls tractors 2 are diesel
 
Good heavens. I have to go building by building mentally. Let me try:

1 diesel standby generator
1 gas portable generator
2 leaf blowers
1 trimmer
2 push mowers
2 riders
1 four wheeler
1 three wheeler
1 chain saw
2 tillers
1 barn vacuum
1 snow blower
1 pickup
4 tractors
1 grain truck
1 combine
2 "modern cars"
4 vintage cars

I know I am forgetting things. Not sure what, but I know I am. At 29 that's enough. The worst part of most of them isn't the engine part it is all the other stuff (like tires!).

No wonder I am tired spring summer and fall! The old cars aren't that bad, though. They are air cooled VWs so I don't have water to deal with on them. I do keep them nicer than any other vehicle just because I put so much sweat into restorations. I can honestly say that all but one of those engines should fire right up if you go out there now.
 
Let's see...

1 Van
1 Pickup
2 Motorhome (has a generator)
13 Garden tractors
1 Leaf vac for the Bolens
2 Push mowers
1 Chipper
1 Weed whacker

Years ago for something to do while I was trying to sleep I counted up in my mind how many tires there were on all the equiptment and implements, I had over 200!
 
14 tractors; 3 trucks; 1 car, 1 SUV, 6 garden & cubbies, 3 chainsaws, 2 weedeaters, 4 handmowers, 3 air compressors, 1 logsplitter, 1 generator, 1 snowblower, 1 leafvac, 1 leafblower, 3 rototillers. That's 45. Actually 10 or 12 other push mowers kinda past their prime but in a pinch could be run (I take care of a cemetery).
 
(quoted from post at 18:39:13 02/28/13) I have about 15. I don't see where anybody mentioned snowmobiles?
Click to expand...

I didn't list but it includes a snowmobile which even though I wrecked it two weeks ago it still starts right up.
 
Let's see... pickup, weedwhacker, push mower, riding mower, power washer, chainsaw, generator, Farmall M, Farmall H, snowmobile. Looks like that adds up to 10. That's plenty enough to keep me busy and my wallet a little lighter.

Next, I'd like to see a picture! Especially of the guy with 23 tractors.

Here's a project for a slow day:
Drive all those cars, pickups, tractors, riding mowers, snowmobiles, ATV into your back yard or lot beside your house and take a picture of them. Maybe with you and your wife or brother or daughter in the picture.
I wonder how long it will take to make a plan of where to park, how to arrange them.

A book came out (15 years ago):
Material World: A Global Family Portrait.
It's pictures of people standing in front of their house, with all their worldly possessions around them.

Here are some photos of people and their possessions:

Who wants to do this, with the vehicles and motors in the list you just made?!
