Those have worked well for me in the past. If I had had some, the time taken to get my truck back on the road today would have been cut in half. I keep meaning to get a set of those for my toolbox, but never do. I think this might be the boot in the azz that motivates me to get some.

I have NEVER seen a carb become so loose it came off an intake.
Generally speaking IF the bolts came just a little loose you'd notice the metric chitton of vacuum leak/crappy running engine and begin to diagnose the problem.
Youre an idiot if you waited until it got THAT bad before doing something about it. I dont even know how the truck ran prior to said dirtroad.

Well, I had changed the brake booster check valve because my original one broke in the process of being removed. The new one was kind of loose fitting, and after I changed it, it started surging at idle and what not like it had a vacuum leak. So, I figured it was the check valve leaking, and never got around to changing it. I never suspected nor checked the carb until it was falling off. But, now that I've got the carb tightened down properly, It's still surging at idle.. Now I guess it's time to get that check valve changed out.

Damn you Dan. I thought we talked about this.
Changing passwords in 5...4...3...2...1...
BTW, did you change the carb to intake gasket? Im sure the time I suspect you spent driving around with a loose carb fubar'd the gasket. Additionally, check each and every vacuum line and its fitting. $2 worth of vacuum hose will make or break an engine.

Joe was drunk and belligerent last night.
Has anyone ever known someone who stuttered when sober but talked perfectly fine when drunk? I was hoping the same could be said for Joes texts....wrong! Deciphering his texts made my head hurt so bad I had to go to bed. In related news I think hes going to kill someone for selling him a bad engine and Ed(75350 whatever) owes him a D60.
Thats about all Ive had the time to translate.
