Well I trailered the crockpot back home. Alex and I installed the new dizzy. Everything went great. Took it for a drive the first 4 miles it was fine then it just died! Wtf! Would not start or turn over nothing had to push back on the trailer.

This sucks! Help!

Please tell me that this is not a serious post....


First thing that comes to mind is that the dizzy drive was not seated all the way into the motor. This would cause a condition where the worm drive was engaged enough to turn the dizzy's rotor, but not far enough for the dizzy's shaft to engage the motor's oil pump.


Please, for the love of god, tell me that you made sure that the dizzy engaged the oil pump.


I cannot believe that I caused all of this mayhem :crybaby: I still have Moonshine's 2F long block in the garage. I fear you may need it.
 
Ask Allen Dickenson about that. His mechanic made that same mistake on the first 40 he owned about 15 years ago.

If this isn't the best late April Fool's gag ever then it's definitely a lesson in why you should never mess with someone else's junk, especially old, personality laden junk. Something might have been just waiting to go south already and Murphy's law kicked in.

Johnny, just replace the Crock for him. I hear Rival makes a nice one with a digital timer.

ps. If it's not all a well executed joke then I sincerely hope the best for Adam of the Fat Hands.
 
it's ended

It was all a well played joke that Johnny started on me at my graduation party. He took the coil wire slightly off the coil so the 40 would not start. I was wondering why the hood was up when I went to drive it. :hhmm: I started messing with the wires and pulled them off and put them back on and then it started.
So I decided to flip the joke on him and him going for awhile. When he said he was going to order parts and cost him $$$ was when I we decided to end the sharaid. Well played Johnny, thanks to those that helped.
:beer::beer::flipoff2:
 
Knew it was a joke as soon as johnny and Ramon pipped up. Anything involving the three of u is a joke:flipoff2:
That's why i never responded after my first post. Also the fact that your Facebook status never reflected any of this was a dead giveaway. You have a long way to come young padawan if you want to pull cons like that. You have to fully immerse yourself in that sh$t. :cheers:
 
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Prank? Graduation? This was your final exam at Clown College, right?

Well played. Congrats on joining our ranks. We can now add the phrase "well educated" when we talk about you. Along with "but they'll give a degree to anyone who can afford it".

Seriously though, feels good to be done with it, huh? Gonna have way more free time now.

I've got to hand it to Adam for this one. I thought I got him good with my trick, but then he turned it back around on me. I was seriously concerned for a couple of hours. I then found out that the bringing it to the shop thing was a bluff, then started the bit about buying and shipping parts his way.

All in all, good work Meat, both on graduating and pulling one hell of a prank :clap: :D
 
I was following all of this from afar and was throughly entertained! Haha!

:beer:
 
Holy s***.

Adam: I will never joke about how often you drive your 40 again.

Well played.
 
I had fun playing this one from both sides. Good stuff :D
