Mine tried to set itself on fire today when the HIF float bowl screw that acts as the hinge for the float came loose and wandered most of the way out. A nice stream of fuel was pouring off the carby and onto the subframe and diff housing near the exhaust. :oops:

If she really cared for you she'd offer to drive you (after all that's what you'd be expected to do, no matter what) :roll:
