Bewildered and lost, 2 stroke china girl

[Baconator101]

I was lost for a while in the labyrinth of videos that is YouTube when a thought occurred to me. Have any of you folks used the Common 2 stroke 66cc for anything other than means of tinkering and transportation? Would it be good for anything? Generator? Pressure washer? Im not talking about practicality either. I tend to consider the engine a novelty almost.

It's air cooled, innit?
But I did wonder if I can use it for a very short time, to help me with my sea (shore) fishing. Perhaps I could put a bare hub and sprocket in the frame and have a motorised fishing reel for a shore long line/ kite fishing? Or maybe fit a drill chuck to the tensioner somehow, to make holes in tubs of frozen minced bait to attract lots of fish to the aforementioned long line? Either of these things I can do by hand anyway, of course.

Never seen a pedal powered propeller before.

And that is just an animation.
'another use for 2-storke engines' ?
Probably a poor choice for anything else.
It has no pull start for one, and It don't like prolonged low rpm drag.

Ive always thought about jerry rigging one of my spare engines to a kayak, because im too lazy to paddle.

I've considered setting on up on a john boat later, but I haven't decided yet. My next build will probably be a tricycle.

Thought it might be fine for hauling shingles up to the roof. My roof's done though. lol
