Wanna hear a good one. 2 nights ago I was building a "cold air intake for my D.D. I was cutting brass tube to fit but decided first to put paper towel down the carb so's not to get any buggers down there. All went well, looks great but got cold so I put off running till the next day. Well it started right up, idle'd ok (a little rich but it was still cold out) Ran around the yard about 10 min. & just didn't seem to be all there. It died across the street & wouldn't start so I took it into the shop. Then asked meself about that wad in the carb. Yep-still there---duuuuuuuuuuuu:stupid:
 
Good one bro ! Got me laughing out loud on that one. Get yourself a Bounty papertowel sticker for your body. The few, the proud, the air-restricted.
 
LOL. One time, in bandcamp, I tried to start my engine without the glow starter. Man, I tell ya what I was getting pissed...yanked on that damn cord for about 20 seconds, untill I realized that It won't start without the starter!! Ohh well, we all have blonde moments from time to time.:doh:
 
yea once I left the glow starter on after starting. I didn't notice anything weird for about 10-min then saw this huge silver thingy sticking out of the head. I gotta calm down-lol
 
one time I kept tryina start it and then relized I forgot to prime it well this should be normal for me lol
 
ooh ya well well... one time i tried to start it, and gues what happened?it wouldnt start. whoa.:stupid: :jk:

I started my T.Q. with a new 24.7 in it & the idle set screw was in to far. The bi-ch fired up while I was sitting in front of it & climbed me like an old tree. Damn those tires get big when there turning on your face.
 
Thanks guys. This thread cracked me up.

Robie6, I've been on the receiving end of a few RC monster trucks in flight while filming them. I think El Pirata took great pride in trying to nail me with his trucks on each outing. I have a pick of his Savage about to nail me in my gallery...now where is that link...

That is my knee in the grey sweat suit in the bottom of the picture. Notice wheels are turned directly at the cameraman, ME!

I've been hit three times...including the above. That is a clip from a video. The end result in the video shows me removing the truck from my lap to allow it to continue running.
 
I'll have to see where I stashed them. Moved servers a few times in the past few months. Let me dig them up and get back to you. Maybe tomorrow evening...as tonight I plan on trying to kill my pneumonia with some beer.

Great pics "skymaxx", You take good "in your face" shots. I'd like to put a videocam on mine. Seen some for 65.00, gotta look deeper into it & learn more about it, don't need a rip off. :worship:
