Went to check my plugs last night,with everything apart on top of the engine,(very easy BTW),I put a balled up paper towell in each of the carbs to keep stuff from falling in,(they face almost straight up),well checked the plugs,(burning fine),little bit of dielec. grease,some antisieze compound,everything goes back together...do a once over,O.K. lets fire her up..nothing,she cranks but wont run,thought about it for a minute or two,well come to find the engine is not gonna run,not with paper towells stuffed in the mouths of the carburetors!!! :bonk:

what you need are some high performance paper towels, not that OE restrictive crap.

Good thing it didnt fire up it would have sucked them right in. I hate to admit years ago I pulled a sock through doing the same thing on a 200x three wheeler. :bonk:

 

[JEKYLL]

...it did fire a few times at first,can't imagine if it had caught fire,this was inside my garage too! :yikes:

It was on a big truck. (4 inch inlet) I had my sleeves rolled up and reached buy it. The driver mashed on the fuel just as I reached buy it. Before I knew what happened. My sleeve was gone. :yikes:
