It originally has ots own brand of fuel sold for it exclusively back when this was sold. The closest thing to the fuel they had for it and what will give you the best results when using a hop rod is naphtha gas I'm pretty sure that the original fuel was something very similar if not actually just naphtha gas.
This actually doesn't run very well with just gas like that of what you put in a car it almost doesn't do much of anything to be honest but put in some naphtha gas and you will have a much better time on the hop rod to anyone who has one.🙂👍✌
The hop rod used its own brand and blend of gas it wasn't actually gas like that of what you put in your car. The closest thing to what they made and used in the hop rod is naphtha gas that you can still buy today and use in it. If you put that in the hop rod you will get a much better result and ride its much more powerful and gives you a ride almost exactly like the original hop rog gas they made and sold for the hop rod back in the day. Anyways empty the gas out and put in naphtha gas and I guarantee you that you will have a much better time / ride on the hop rod. 🙂👍✌
Not exactly i have one as well and have had it since it was new still have an original can of its fule and the closest thing to what it was is naphtha gas use that on it today and it gives a great ride much better than with just gas you put in a car.🙂👍✌
Just another example of the versatility of the 2-stroke engine, and this shows just how stupid, ridiculous, and frankly, "Rube Goldberg" the 4-stroke is! Just imagine these as 4-strokes--it'd pop on one jump then miss on the next! People tell me how "refined" 4-strokes are and how "crude" 2 strokes are, but they've got it backwards. 4-strokes just have alot more moving parts to make alot less power, and efficiency--the oil industry just LOVES them! Junk is Junk, and 4 strokes are JUNK!
7he issue with 2 strokes is how to avoid wasting fuel out the exhaust when you take in the petrol and air mixture. They are also less durable on average.
Thanks for looking!
Never seen one of those gas powered, that jumping jack looks like a foot crusher!
I'd heard of those gas powered pogo sticks before, I want one. :)
Save your money in the extremely rare times they ever become available on any site to buy they go for around $3000. USD
I wonder what kind of mileage that tamper would get if you converted it to a pogo stick.
It might not do too bad provided you could actually even make it a mile on that thing! :)
They are somewhat common and the shows around here, but I realized that may not be the case elsewhere!
Just needs some higher octane fuel!!!

I just saw a fully restored hop rod it was very cool!
Hey I was here before lol
Lol
I wouldn't like to get my toes stuck under that jumping jack :) I thought he would bounce over the building with the gas powered pogo
I'm watching this on 6 November 2021😂
Let me know what you find!!
I wanna see Roadking on that gas powered pogo stick!
I'm pretty sure that they do! These didn't but the other one's I've seen smoke
I think you may be right about that one!
thats cool! maybe it can flatten a steel toe boot?
I think he's fine where he his, he wouldn't go near that thing!
Me too, but I know I'd get real hurt with something like that!!
Thanks mate!

Believe it or not they sold different sizes and one model was the elephant foot
Stamper 😂
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt right!
Keep that thing away from your feet! That pogo stick would be fun though!
The tamper weights 200 lbs I think it could, it would flatten it on your foot and then you'd be stuck!
Yeah I wouldn't be wearing flip flops around it....
That is odd!! You should make a maytag powered unicycle...lol
I bet you wish you still had it now!
If i had half the shit i had as a kid now i would not need to work...
It would definitely be cool to own
That pogo stick runs on Cox airplane fuel ..had one when i was a kid and gave it away....
Not exactly i have one as well and have had it since it was new still have an original can of its fule and the closest thing to what it was is naphtha gas use that on it today and it gives a great ride much better than with just gas you put in a car.🙂👍✌
That's what I said!
WOW !!!
wow!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I want one! :D
When they come up for sale in extremely rare circumstances they go for around $3000. USD
Do these run on 2 stroke fuel?
They had their own mixed fuel you could buy called pogo go.
I contacted chance manufacturing in 1987 and they told me white gas aka Coleman lantern fuel
