Vanguard grenade

one of the mower racers stopped in with this today, said he doin' some practice laps when the throttle stuck. he pulled the kill switch and nuttin', pushed in the clutch and heard a pop

later found the kill wire had fell off the coils

but he got to go home with one head, intake and carb

 

[Got-EZGO?]

Wow, that is somewhere I don't ever want to be!!

That sucks for him. I hope he has good luck with the next one.

 

[HotRodCarts]

Not good.

 

[dirtysouth]

Whoops

 

[dirtysouth]

Wow... By the looks of that thing, I'd say he was running a turbo.

Just pissin' on yer electric fence Mark.

I wish ya all the best with the beast, you know that.

 

[Nubs]

Right

[Got-EZGO?]

I am thinking he was runnin' twin turbo's, I......, am only runnin' one, so I should be safe.

here is the aftermath of the new valve keepers Briggs is using, there to brittle or something and crack in half. the dude said it stated missin' and makin' a tapping sound then

 

[HotRodCarts]

That must have been a hell of a tapping sound.

ouch... that is really not good.. that valve all curled up and hammered into the piston is crazy.. that is something you set on your counter for people to look at...
