    That looks like a diesel powered jumping jack. But it must be gas powered since the guy said the sparkplug wire keeps coming off.

    I remember a gasoline powered pogo stick when I was in engineering class back around 1973. We studied how it worked, no spark plug, just a wire that sparked to the piston at the top of stroke.
