Who the fuck thought this was a good idea
Putting a thermostat hose next to the spark plugs.
You guessed it hose burst covering the spark plugs and most of the wiring
This is on a 500 Piaggio scooter with a twin plug head.
Happened a block from home thank goodness.
Now have to wait for a month for one from Italy for $80
But will first check out super cheap and see if I can adapt one from another hose
It’s a small bugger

Well found a Holden heater hose that fitted perfectly $10 not the $80 Piaggio wanted.
I have always tried to find something else non original to fit if it’s available.

In the picture the black hose is the fuel line and the grey is a spark plug lead.
Both sit on top of each other and both rub against the frame just below the thermostat hose.
What could possibly go wrong?

Both have now been rerouted

When I said I would go out in a blaze of glory this is not what I had in mind :rofl:

I went out for my first real swing with my “crappy” $99 dollar metal detector and ended up being pleasantly suprised. A lot of toothpaste/shaving cream tube tops, C-rat tins, the usual rubbish associated with army camps. The real prize was this though:

Seems to have been a bit lost, Pvt. White was in the 120th Field Artillery based at Camp Cable (Logan Village), I was at Camp Columbia (Wacol). He passed away in 2011, but I’ve let the dog tag return people know so they can try to get it back to his rellies.

Have dedicated a whole room today to blasters and nerf as a workshop and somewhere to escape the wife.
Of course I still have my six bay shed/work shop to get away from the wife and my 20ft container to hide from the hand brake.
At our age only seeing each for a few hours each day is enough :joy:
