Well like most things. I forget a thing here or there or a thing or two. Yesterday i changed my carb to.manifold gasket. Hooked it all back up. (Or i thought) started it up and drove it.down around the block. Did great. Anyway. I ended up.coming in and turning around at the end of the cultasact to.park the truck. Thought id pop the hood and see what she looks.like running. Gas. Everywhere. Just.pouring out of.my fuel.line. forgot to tighten the hose clamp.to the carb! Ran and shut the truck off. I knew.something was.wrong when i saw the fuel on the rd.
I almost lit my truck on fire. Any.longer of a drive and i prob would.of. the fuel.was boiling.
Only thing positive about this and why im posting it is i dont need.to degrease my.motor now. Lol.
O lord. Thanks for reading my fun. If thats what u wanna call it.

You learn after screwing up a couple times to pay attention to the details. Or else.

No.more.hose.clamps.or large.diameter hose on that after today. New hose was a tight fit but a good fit.
Yes its the small.or.last details.that save you. I need.to.slow down and stop getting so excited.
