your attachement didn't work for me (there were 3 linebreaks added to the .DOC binary data). here's the post in plain text:
=============================================== Yesterday driving home from work with the top off (it was a nice day in Seattle) I had just stopped at a light and then started to smell GAS! I mean raw gas so I pulled off the road and popped the hood what I saw was lakes of gas in the engine tin and gas dripping from underneath the car. I said *$%^ and started to investigate, no loose gas lines or obvious problems so I started the car and watched, there was a stream of gas coming from the intake manifold on the passenger side Weber, I mean it was a stream the size of my daughters horse taking a piss !. I turned off the engine and tried to figure out what happened I thought possibly the manifold had split but I noticed on the other Weber there where these two inserts in the intake manifold so I checkd the leaking side and low and behold one of the inserts was missing I looked down on the engine tin and found the insert it kind of looks like the tip of a bullet, I used my Leatherman and stuffed it back in. I drove home with no leak and then took a small flat tipped punch to reseat the insert. It seems to be ok. My question is what the F*** are those for and why are they removable, I could have been a motorized funeral pyre. Neal Attached image(s)
