    You will want a rack of some kind to set the engine in, You need a battery, ignition resistor, on-off switch for ignition, push button start switch, solenoid, starter and cables. You will want a can of gas and a hose to connect it to your pump. Make sure you have some kind of throttle control and a return to close spring.

    this remindes me of another post on here a while back about how people would start the motor on the ground and it would go rolling away. that was funny stuff.
