My engine fell :(

[SupremeTeam]

Long story short, I sat my tec in the MiniBike frame that was on the table and when I turned around the engine fell out the frame off the table to the floor. The carb cover was bent up and when I took it off I found that I had broke the manifold, but I already found one on eBay and it will be on the way.

That SUCKS!!

Yeah it does, but the linkages seem to all be working so when that manifold comes hopefully I will still be in business.

I haven't tried because I didn't think it would get any gas from the carb since the manifold was wide open. And I just had it running like 10 mins before this happened because I had cut off the reverse shaft while it spun. That was the longest I had run it and it idled so nice for like 10 to 15 mins.

That does suck! I,ve been there before. Its amazing how quick those gremlins are. You can set and stare at something like that for ever but turn around and walk two step away and it falls. At least you found one cheap. So, chalk it up to lesson learned, throw 2 bolts on the engine next time.
