Dumb things that you did.......because you didn't know any better.
Some of these are a hoot!!!!! Gotta give it to the paint bomb on the stove!!!:rofl:
Of course I can add to the mayhem... Before my driving days, my dad and I were boat guys. We had an IO boat with a v6 Chev in it. It started running crappy so I decided (while out on the river):BangHead: to mess with the carb. I barely could work on a lawn mower never mind a boat or car. Anyway, I started taking stuff off the carb, undid the fuel line and of course got nowhere fast. Put it back together and it ran the same (YES IT RAN!!). Got back to the dock and had to bump the throttle to get the back of the boat up next to the dock. The motor backfired and ignited the gas that had been leaking from the loose fuel line that I didn't tighten.:wtf: BOOM!!!!! The large engine cover - gone, my buddy dove into the water, the fire extinguisher didn't work as the fire started to grow.... But the captain stayed with the ship!!!! The neighbor saved the day with a fire extinguisher that should have been in the Smithsonian.
Luckily, the two 18 gallon fuel tanks on each side of the engine didn't blow.....:thankyou:
Never did tell the old man....:mad:
