Saw this post on OZDAT about all the stupid things people have done and would like to hear some of the datsun1200.com members stupid antics.

Ill get things started. Never had anything too embarrising thank god.

Forgot to put floats back in the carbs. Started her up began reving away when i smell fuel and see a large puddle forming. Jump out to have a look and see fuel spurting a good 30cm out of eash float bowl.

Another fuel one. Forgot to put a fuel hose on one carb. Same as above.

No mechanical fan means I turn the engine over by using a large socket and rachet on the crank bolt. Forget to take it off and start it up only to hear a rachet working over time. Luckily it was going the way of the rachet and not loosen, otherwise big dissaster.

Come back after changing wheels only to remember I forgot to tighten the wheel nuts. They were only hand tight. Nothing happend luckily as they must of just been tight enough to take up the slack.

Left bonnet on first latch only after going over 100kph. Again nothing happend but i shat myself when realising what could of. Pro-18t for example.

Wondered why it wouldnt start. Jump out and see the rotor still sitting on the strut top.

Theres a start. Tell us everything. We wont judge you. Mine are very mild compared to some I read on OZDAT. Im wiser for all of them now though except the rachet on the crank. Do that one nearly every time.
