ricky30dk Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 That moment when you realise your engine is not receiving any fuel because you are trying to insert a 0.100" needle into a 0.090" jet..... Silly me for buying US spec jets for my US live axle TR4A. After dismantling them several times to try to understand how they work (or don't work), I noticed the tag read AUD209. But why?

RogerH Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi Ricky, it is moments like these that make me feel that little bit better about my blunders. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ricky30dk Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Ah but I can make you feel even better then - having removed my K&N filters and placed them under the car, out of harms way, I then proceeded to push the car over them thinking that the resistance was due to the tyres being a little flat........if there is a silver lining, it's that I read on this forum that K&Ns might not be the way to go......either way, mine are now more than a little crinkly. Can you beat that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi Ricky, I have a catalogue of cock-ups - I suppose you would call it a cockalogue. They are mine and that's where they stay. Except I will admit to having burning trainers whilst welding and also setting light to steel wool in the garage. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Ahh burning trainers now that I can identify with, and hopping about when a blob of molten steel melts its way through to your foot ! Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRG1965 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Ahh many many years ago as a teenager I was standing on a large Swarfega tin doing some welding through the hole in the boot floor of a car where the fuel tank had been as the car was stuck on a ramp at height for some reason or other. Only after I felt some warmth around my legs, did I realise that it was not a good idea to a) stand on a tin in the first place and b) to use the empty tin I'd just drained the fuel out of the tank in to, to be able to remove said tank. Thankfully it was only the residue as I emptied the fuel in to a proper fuel canister. Only pride hurt and a lesson learned. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
