Cylinder Index

[By Ozark Lee ]

We did this a few years ago on the rec.boats usenet group and it was fun.

What is your cylinder index?

In other words, how many cylinders do you own. The only rules are that the items must be running and for personal use – dealers and business applications need not apply.

I’ll kick it off:

1996 Chevy Suburban – 8 cylinders
1996 Volvo 850 – 5 cylinders
1994 Volvo 850 – 5 cylinders
1985 Porsche 944 – 4 cylinders
1989 Cobalt 21 BR Boat – 8 cylinders
1995 Kawasaki 900 zXi Jetski – 3 cylinders
1997 Kawasaki 900 zXi Jetski – 3 cylinders
1970 Kohler 12.5 kW Generator – 4 cylinders
2004 Honda 7.5 kW Generator at the cabin – 2 cylinders
1948 Evenrude 7.5 horsepower outboard motor – 2 cylinders
1955 Firestone 7.5 horsepower outboard motor – 2 cylinders
1970 Evenrude 25 horsepower outboard motor – 2 cylinders
2002 Campbell Hausfeld Power Washer – 1 cylinder
1999 Echo weedeater – 1 cylinder
1999 Macullough chain saw – 1 cylinder
2002 Homelite Leaf Blower – 1 cylinder
1998 Yard Man Lawnmower – 1 cylinder
2001 Yard Man Lawn Mower at the cabin – 1 cylinder

If I tallied it up right I think I have 53 cylinders to deal with.

Proof of jet ski ownership - This one is on my wall of shame.

    Hey Lee,

    I had no idea how many cylinders I had to maintain until doing this - I have all this and I’m still 20 cylinders behind you! I’m looking at a boat and generator soon, so I’ll be closing the gap - At least your jet ski’s run.
