But on 2nd thought, if all else fails, maybe a Raptor will fix it !

Now Routy, who was it that first suggested using the Raptor to fix everything?

I later on humorously recounted what a lazy practicing proctologist might would do if you interrupted his golf game .... but I didn't call any names -- really I didn't.
But hey, if the glove fits, stick it on up there and tickle him some, he seems to need a chuckle ....
========================
OK crew, Routy says I have oldbrainfart amnesia and don't remember several newbies who have dialed in recently with "carburetor issues" that did not involve a petcock flaw of any sort.I truly don't recall any, as a matter of fact the petcock replacement has wound up fixing all that has come in lately. Routy remembers there were two though (although the names and any of the details seem to have escaped him)
so I'm askin' .....Somebody help us out and remind both of us of who these folks were, I wanna give Routy his count credit if he indeed deserves it. It has to involve a LS650 or an S40 though.
(got to have some standards about this sort of funny business or it would get ridiculous)
Since it's my brainfart, you have full permission to help me out all you want to.
I'll go get my crow out of the freezer so he can thaw out some.
