The starter's been removed too; can't imagine that's an engine easy to start via pull starter. Were it connected, I'd bet there might be just a leetle bit of wheelspin when giving it the gas... not that I'm complaining, mind you.

So the mower is powered by the Suzuki lump? Or is the mower still powered by the Toro/Briggs/Tecumseh it came with and we're just thinking of fun ways to render oneself sterile in short order? Love the idea, as it reminds me of those nutty barstool racers or coolers (ice chests) you can drive around at the track, and even my own recent resurrection of the 30-yr old Craftsman with which I earned my allowance as a kid (just mowed it's first lawn in at least 15 years, actually). It's far more reasonable than those blown, 350 lawn mowers and snow blowers, imo. Done properly (with a Suzuki GSXR engine, maybe), and a bit of attention to mower blade geometry and one might be able mow the lawn, then *fly* down the street to chat with a neighbor... Wait.
