One nice thing about them is they start right up after pressure washing.

Your's run on water?    Sheesh... I usually can't even get them to run on something flammable!

[Racinbob 13,052]

Water?? I guess my Dad should have had Teckys instead of Kohlers. Back in the early 60's, after watching him put water in that tank thingy under the hood of the car, I decided to help him out by putting water in that tank thingy on the Wheel Horse. That's when he learned that the water will reach the carb only at the furthest point from the garage on his 10 acres.

[Geno 1,931]

No no no.   

[squonk 47,455]

[Geno 1,931]

That's a hoot squonk!      :text-lol:

[Coadster32 793]

My buddy used to call them "te-junk-seh"

[Digger 66 3,530]

( teh-KUM-sah )

[AMC RULES 37,259]

It's the end(seh)is what people get creative with. 

I've heard it...see, say, sah. 

Correctly, I think the(seh)is pronounced "ahh"

To me it's...Tecums-ahh.
