i stop at a light about 4 miles from home. overwhelmed by the stench of fuel. shut it off and pull over immediately. top of driver's side tin is puddled with fuel and it's steaming off. turn key to energize the pump to see where it might be leaking. one of the lead plugs ( which block the interior passage ways) on the inside face of the carbs has popped out and the gas is coming out like a garden hose. KEY OFF!!! find the plug laying on the tin (no tools on board of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). use a keys and a rock to drive the plug back in and drive home stopping every 100 yards or so. i was sure i was going to watch my car go up in flames. damn.
