Man o man, sure was chilly top-downing
into work this morning at 45 degrees F.
Warm toes -- cold ears!
Had a strange rattle yesterday. Started at about
2000 rpm. Spent an hour or so last night
poking, prodding, and tightening bolts and
nuts all over. Went to check the air cleaner
bolts. Sure enuff. One of those massive 5/16
x 4 1/2 bolts had sheared clean off between the
cleaner and the carb body. Replaced the bolt which
fixed the rattle.
But really ... what kinda forces are on an air-cleaner
bolt that would cause it to shear?
