EEK!

Thats a lucky escape, and its one of the reasons why i changed out 
my fuel hoses in there for a new set , mine all looked rather baked 
and cracked on the 25 yr old rubber parts of the hoses, but 
obviously on your 3 year old new ones its not something you would 
have expected to have to check or replace.

Hope the timing adjustment has now sorted out your 'flame throwing' 
problem ....  unless it was actually origionaly coming from your 
petrol covered exhaust manifold ;-)

Lovely weather you have had for your 2 shows this weekend bet you 
are all nicely tanned now :)!

Regards

Mike
