Ever hear of a carb exploding?

[Drache]

Carb is damn near cracked in two and an air breather went from flat top to bulge top.

I'll try to get pics tomorrow as the car is in the shop.

I will say that 28 miles costs $300 to get a car towed.

 

[805moparkid]

Wow, that is a rip off, IMO Heck you can buy a new carb for that much

yeah our tow trucks here are a major rip off. I damn near sh*t a brick when I seen the bill....

Towing insurance is very cheep. I have it as part of my auto policy on everything.

That one tow bill would get you about 4 year of coverage.

$150 a year here but yeah I had forgotten even to sign up for it and I paid the price so to speak.

Never had a carb blow up on me....BUT I also know when I look down it, I never use a match to light my way!!!

Towing is unreal now. I had an issue when bringing a tractor home in July and they wanted 80 to hook-up and 30 a mile home. I need to buy a tow-truck for a 2nd job.

Actually I was going 30mph down a street at the time ops:

 

[MoparDaddy]

I've never heard of such an experience and pray i never experience it myself....

 

[dodge freak]

I had a nasty backfire once when the rotor broke

 

[needsaresto]

One word on towing BCAA or CAA will have you covered and is more than worth the asking price these days. I learned the hard way when I got my van lifted off a cement barrier during the winter. The op ripped my front bumper off and then tried to charge me $100. End result was I made an insurance claim on the damage and had to pay my deductable of $300. The op got off scott free.

I can agree with that statement.

 

[MoparDaddy]

Amen!

Since the OP won't post piccchhhers here's a few to compare:

 

[dodge freak]

I really should spend $20--$25 and get a fire exhauster, home depot got them, you never do know and forget thinking you local FD would help, mine are always busy shopping each morning at our local Merier store

 

[mattq]

that is why I have a fire extinguisher in my car at all times

I would still like to see pictures of this exploding carb. This thread is like some of the girls I ran with when growing up, get you excited just to let you down.... :sign12:
