[TheForge] Aha! - duh! OT

I usually unscrew the plug and spray in WD40 replace the plug and then start

Ever have one of those Aha! moments, only to realize you were dumb not to
have thought of it years ago?

I needed to start my lawnmower today, and it was cool out so the engine was
not cooperative.  I looked around for some starter fluid
(ether) and couldn't find any.  I considered substituting acetone, but this
mower has a lot of plastic parts the acetone might damage.  What to do?

While looking around in my garage some more, I spotted the propane torch.
(!)

It was tricky balancing the torch near the air filter but once I succeeded
in that, and turned on a stream of propane (unlit, of course), I started the
mower on the first try.
