you've never seen the big lebowski?!?

your task for this week is to get a case of beer and rent it. at first you may think it's a dumb movie, but the more hammered you are while watching it, the more sense it makes. great movie.

don't even turn it on until you have consumed atleast a 12pk and 3 or 4 joints cause up until that point it's the dumbest movie ever produced.

basically it required a major drop in IQ welll below that level considered disabling retardation in order to be worth watching.
so yes joe, your a friggin genius level IQ currently in relation to what is needed to make it funny.

You know what I hate? My job. On my way to work today, my carburetor decided to 'unbolt itself' from the intake. I was headed down a dirt road, and when I got to the end of it, the truck was idling at 3,000 RPM. I limped it to a gas station, where I found that I could actually move the carb side to side and front to back. The bolts on the bottom of the carb were really loose, and one of the bolts from the bottom of the carb was sitting on top of the EGR valve. I had 30 minutes before I had to be at work, but I called anyway, and told them what happened, that I would probably be late, and asked if I could come in an hour later. I was told no. That there was only one other person working, and that the only way I could do that would be to see if someone could cover for me. So I made a couple of calls, and finally this one guy answered, I told him what happened, asked if he could cover for me, he said he'd call me back. (I never heard back from him, and he didn't show up for work yesterday. Apparently, he quit.) So I pulled out the toolbox and got started, pulled off the carb, tightened up the loose screws on the four corners, put the carb back on, re-attached lines and hoses, and was on my way. Got to work 45 minutes late, but nobody said anything about it, cause I'm guessing they were cool with it. Well, later on, I was running a customer's check up front, and was asking about a party of 45 people that was coming in 30 minutes before close, and said that I'd be here all night. One of my managers goes, "That's okay, because you were really late today." And an argument ensues.. Apparently, according to her, it's my fault that my carburetor almost came off of the intake.. WTF. I hate my job.

well, it is your fault. if you'd have tightened the carb down properly the first time there wouldn't have been an issue :flipoff:

p.s.
So I pulled out the toolbox and got started, pulled off the carb, tightened up the loose screws on the four corners, put the carb back on,

I did tighten the carb down properly, almost two years ago..

On the bottom of the non-computer controlled 1 bbl carb, there are four phillips head bolts. Those are what came loose.. Imagine that there is a carb spacer that is held onto the intake by two studs/nuts, and imagine that the carb is held onto the spacer by four phillips head bolts with the heads of the bolts facing the ground, making them inaccessible unless the carburetor/spacer is pulled off of the intake. Those four bolts are what came loose and caused the carb to flop around. So I had to pull the carb off, tighten those four bolts on the bottom of the carb, and put the carb and 'spacer' back onto the intake. I'll have to take some pictures, it's easier to show you than to explain it. But, Those four bolts were on the carb when I bought it, and I had nothing to do with installing them or properly torquing them. They should have been properly torqued when Holley remanufactured the carb, and they should have stayed that way..

However, running 45-50 mph down a bumpy azz dirt road 3-4 times a day, almost every day for the past 6 months may or may not have caused those 4 bolts to come loose..

Actually, I went and looked on my old computer controlled carb, and there's the same bolts/screws on the bottom of it.

they work better than a staright screw driver in some situations, and some things they have saved me a lot of time on, you know, like when you tear something down half assed to "save time".

I always seem to get one screw that is stuck, and can't get enough pressure to keep them seated nice. That's my only issue with them.
