FOD in the Argo

[gimmegreens336]

Hopefully this works! First is my bent wheel, then a couple of gummy chains then a few of my FOD I am trying to identify. I apologize for the low quality!

wow, you found a pack of smokes down there, they look pretty clean considering those gummy chains! sorry it was my first thought when i saw that picture. i have know idea what those parts are.

lol... was the first thing I saw to make a size comparison! it's an upgraded newport pack impervious to grime

I'm not a smoker but I know some guys who would consider those smokes gold not fod.

I got on today and it showed all the little error messages for the pictures loaded a few posts above. I had to edit the post and copy and paste the image URL again. Same exact image URL but had to re-paste all of them to load. Is everyone else seeing the images? I apologize for the headache but I suck on these forums.

I wanna get the picture posting worked out so I can share some North Carolina Argo experiences on here! We had her in the lake last night with 795 lbs worth of dudes riding! She took on some water, believe my rowdy boat rocking buddies are mostly to blame for the water we took on. The bilge worked like a champ though!

Yall please let me know if the photos are working, and if anyone has had a similar experience with having to re-paste all of the image URL's.

Thanks!

Forgot to mention: I found the same type of hose far aft, inboard, under the lip, held in by a clip. No idea the function of this. Wonder if it's something added by a previous owner. The unidentified tube-FOD could definitely be a piece of this contraption instead of a missing piece in the motor.

No idea

[trevorakm1]

could these peices be part of the gas tank venting and the port through the tub, if it was clipped in? I have a 2001 and the hose is still flexible but discolored as opposed to clear.h

I agree with trev. could be a gas tank breather as for chains degreese power wash and relube as for tire try letting air out and straighten best you can with a piece of wood and a hammer

[gimmegreens336]

Awesome - thanks for the replies trev and kez - I'll be home from work in about 5 or 6 hours and plan to take her back to the lake. I will do an inspection on the fuel tank, this makes sense. Appreciate yall!

Last 2 pics:
Gas tank breather line, and I still think the "Tube" is the spacer that goes under the Throttle linkage. Like I said, it may have been dropped, then replaced with a new one. I've dropped and lost a couple of those in my machines (I actually carry a spare one with me now)

Hope that helps
