Why should you have to use your feet and hands to apply differential braking? That's what's wrong with it.

So someone who owned your Chippy realised that a Coffmann starter for a 145hp putt-putt was just plain stupid and put a sensible electric starter on it. Well done them.

Just because you have sensibly-sized tanks - you don't have to fill them up. But when you need the range - its nice to have it. Unless the tanks are a stupid size, when you simply can't. I guess that's why the civvy Chippies did have sensibly-sized tanks. Remember, you don't have to fill them up.

Did that not occur to you before you praised the limited fuel capacity? It seems it didn't.
