The "What's Cooking" entry reminds me of when I had a CB450 Black Bomber, around 1979, which I was trying to get back on the road.
For some reason the spark plugs were not fitted. I dropped a screw from one of the handlebar switches, you can guess where a certain law says it went.
What are the chances of that? Bet I couldn't do it again ....
And yes, my brother and I did turn the bike upside down and shook it until the screw dropped out.
SteveD CB500K0:
We have those long bendy magnetic things for that nowadays.
I'll bet there's a "tip" in some ancient magazine that suggests sticking a magnet onto a pipecleaner for when you drop a screw down the spark plug hole...
Drew400:
Chris,
Surely it would have been easier just to start the bike and fire the screw out of the exhaust pipe... perhaps at a dartboard placed behind the bike for that very purpose?
Could be the start of another great new auto-based Saturday night TV game show!
