When reinstalling your carburetor, don't finger-tighten the accelerator cable bracket bolts and get distracted. Let's just say I found this out before I managed to lose both of the bolts :blush:. Somewhere on a road nearby, there is a 5/16" bolt and washer, and looking under the hood yesterday, I noticed the missing one and the other one that was about half removed. Losing both bolts might have resulted in finding out how slowly I can limp back home at idle speed. Always tighten all your bolts! :hammer:
 
Nuttin' more dangerous than the random loose screw!!!
