Engine bay dismantle.

Well, I was supposed to clean out engine bay wiring a bit, but as usual I got a bit of sidetracked and started to take off the A/C and valve covers too. Sadly my GoPro run out of battery and didn't catch whole valve cover and windshield wiper motor coming off.

Almost burned.

We have been cruising around and occasionally gasoline has smelled and I didn't think of it much since it was occasionally and I put it on the warm weather and such. On Wednesday it smelled a lot. We were driving to friends house to pick up some goods and as my wife picked up those goods, I checked fast for fuel gap at rear. It was a locked right and tight, so smell didn't come from there. Then I opened the hood and straight away I saw a small stream of gasoline shooting out from the hose in the air. Right in front of carburator. I quickly shut the engine and as the pressure was releaving the stream stopped. Old hose had cracked just after the clamp. I didn't have the spear gasoline hose with me so I did a quick-fix and moved clamp over the crack and tightened it really good. That did it and we went to local car parts store and I bought new gasoline hose.


So lesson to be learned is to keep checking under the hood that everything is good and doesn't show wear and tear.
