It was pulling a trailer that was designed to carry an ancient looking death machine disguised as a two man chain saw. it weighed over 100 lbs and the engine(safe) side had handle bars like a bicycle while the other (suicide) end had a single handle. As I looked it over more carefully I saw the Keikhaefer name on the casting of the motor. I guess they not only made outboard motors, but motors for chainsaws, snowmobiles, and who knows what else. The entire unit was almost 6 feet long. I can't imagine the damage one could do with such a device.
