V12 Lamborghini engine with six Weber carbs. I was doing a tune up. Had all spark plugs out, and was cleaning the BRASS carb main jets. One fell out of my hand and 'tink!' fell into the #11 plug hole.
Remove the batt so the car wouldn't be cranked, then carefully rotated the engine until I could barely see the jet inside. Used a long piece of solder wire and a tiny dab of glue to fix on the brass jet.
Let it sit for 12 hours so it was glued well. Carefully withdrew solder wire, and just as it cleared the plug hole, the jet fell off the wire, hit a metal brace, and promptly rolled into a floor drain. At least it was out of the cyl.

Converted a LP tractor over to gasoline. Made new fuel fittings and plumbed to the carb. One of the old LP relief fittings leaked, and it was directly over the dist. I cranked up the engine, and it was running ok, went to the left side to adjust the carb, and the ign was on the right side.
Saw and heard a very loud WOOOOF! of flames up the right side of the tractor. Shut off ignition, grabbed a hose and luckily got it out in a few mins. Was in a plane hangar with a Beech and Cessna parked 15 feet away.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
