So I mow the lawn, walk by the boat to dump the grass. I think I'm going to fire the BEAST up. So I do, gota love them 2 smokes. Any way I see gass dripping down. So take the cover off the carbs, kick on the fuel pump. Wow, we have a gusher. The "T" to the lower carb on the right is cracked, no fuel to carb. So I put in a new "T", no more leak. Now that could have cost a penny or two to rebuild that BEAST of a 2 smoke V8. That was close.
