troyzstang Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ok I'll start Well my throttle cable was a little gumed up. So being the cheap ass I am I decided to lubricate it instead of replacing it. So I did the old handy dandy trick with a zip lock bag, rubber band & some wd 40. Poked a hole in the baggy, ran the top of the cable through it and secured it with the rubber band. Proceeded to pour wd 40 into the bag so it could travel down the cable and problem fixed. What did I do wrong? First one to guess gets a snickers bar & a six pack of PBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotta_goatsfast Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 you didn't disconnect the cable from the carbs and probably filled the carbs and engine full of wd40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheeman1121 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Probably when I " race cut" my back plastics. I hacked em up so bad i ended runnin without em til i could afford new ones.. Or some of my young days running my cold air intake consisting of a shop vac hose with a gatorade bottle on the end to scoop up the air.. Another good one on my buddies car we tryed running the windsheild fluid hose into the carb and filling it with octane booster homemade nos lol none of em worked out so well...
