Thought I might share a "Gary story" (God rest him) I doubt he will mind now.
I gave my friend Gary, a good used tank for his tr4 he was building."It's free but you have to clean it out"
Turns out his hearing was poor so he ran home and installed this varnished POS in his car, filled it with gas
and fired it up. It ran for several minutes till the varnish caused all the valves to stick open!!!
Still forgetting what I had said, he pulled the head off and cleaned the valves(one at a time).He then put it back on.
Yes dear friends, he tried it again with the same result!!!
I miss Gary he made me laugh....
