The problem with the "start-em-and-forget-em" engines is that there are many things to go wrong. If you don't get to know your machine, how it sounds, how it smells, how the vibrations make you feel etc., you will be sitting on your couch watching the boob tube when it's out there tearing itself apart. I remember as a kid disking the orchard when our next door neighbour who was a mechanic working out of his own shop would wander across the road and when I came out of a row he would wave me down and tell me that he heard the old "22" was acting up and the float bowl stone was probably getting clogged up or something like that.
There's an old commercial from the dodge people that has a part in it where the announcer says "the computer on this vehicle tests over 140 things over 10,000 times per minute". I couldn't help but think that there goes 10,000 chances a minute for something to go wrong. The more complex a machine is and the less you are required to know about it, the more chances are that it will fail.
Don't put down the simple engines that "require" you to get to know them by the simple expediency of asking you to squirt a few drops of oil here and there before you start them, just think of it as a way of getting to know her better than you might ever get to know a woman. Gosh forbid (yes I belong to Casey's church of gosh) that I could every get to know how a woman thinks
