What did you do to your Patrol today!

[NissanGQ4.2]

Started it!
Poor old girl has been sitting for a long time. Wound it over for a little bit waiting for the fuel to come through and when it fired it went straight up to 2000 rpm and stayed there. Jumped out and looked to see if anything was stuck open on the carby. Nope all good..... Then hello d1ck head, I realised I'd left the plastic bottle covering the snorkel and have now collapsed the intake pipe between carby and air filter. Derrrr....

I start mine with 2 year old fuel in it still fires up straight away though, shame the battery is cactus otherwise I would start it more and maybe put fresher fuel in it

Should find a sneaky gravel road to stretch her legs on....

Congratulations, Lucas, you have found a "circuit breaker for the unlikely event of a bird strike or some vandal blocking the snorkel. What wall thickness was the pipe?

Or for if I want it to stick at 2000rpm haha

I wonder what would have happened if you had a cheap knock off snorkel and a stronger pipe?

[taslucas]

I guess it'll always find the weakest link or if not it just wouldn't fire.
Here's the pipe. Just crappy plastic. I've squeezed it back a fair bit but note the wire sticking out..

I have seen one of those when they grow up.

Well this trol doesn't get anywhere near dunes so I hope I'm ok.

Replaced the gas struts on the bonnet to day.
