Sometimes you need a project to fill the time. This looks like one of those. It did start, however.

Great gag! :lol:
He's pressing the starter button while he pulls lawn mower pull-start that's simply fastened to the front cover.
That's why he insisted on 'giving it gas' to start.
Do a frame by frame replay and watch his hand shadow on the ground.

He could have got away with it on a cloudy day! :roll:
Hilarious & ingenious!
