DON’T do this.

2 un-covered 4 bbl carbs, double garage, second bay over diagonally across the shop.
Big Spring "U" clip on a Mopar starter drive, shot off, - heard it bounce off a couple of things on it's way to the other side of shop.
Couldn't find it till I turned the key, - ran a coupla revs till I immediately shut it off.
Chopped up pieces of clip both banks, - raced the next day .
Always cover carbs !
