#290203 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Brain Fart 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I hope I don't get in trouble for using "fart" in the title. Anyway, I am waiting on my carb kit to come in the mail and figured I would go ahead and let the jets and needle soak in a little carb cleaner. I only had some in a aerosol can so I grabbed my measuring cup, put everything in there and sprayed them down until the carb cleaner level was higher than everything. Went and cut my grass and came back in to check on them. DUH! - my measuring cup is/was plastic. So everything had meted plastic on it and was kind of embedded in the bottom. That carb cleaner don't mess around. So needless to say it is trashed and now I have them sitting in a glass jar that I had laying around (OK I stole it out of the kitchen cabinet hope the wife doesn't notice). So don't be stupid like me!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #290221 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

Now and then we would get a new guy and we would send him to another shop to ask for some MEK, and we would send him with a Styrofoam cup. Never failed the guys in the other shop would tell him to have a seat while they got it. Holding the cup over himself (private parts) they would pour a few ounces into the cup. The Styrofoam cup wouldn't even slow down the MEK as it fell from the container straight through to his pants. You NEVER seen a guy strip his pants and underwear off soooooo fast... that S@%^T BURNS! OUCH!

But you've got to send Doc two cases of Milwaukee's best, and then he'll think about it.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access.
