i used to have a yamaha chappie monkey bike to play on when i was wee, it regularly ran out of fule on me so i used to carry a can of lynx deoderant with me and if it ran out of fule i could get home by spraying lynx into the air intake which was located on top of the engine.

 

i had a Suzuki sj410 that the clutch cable had stretched on so i had a load of washers and nuts threaded over it to extend the cable shroud i did thousands of miles like that. i used to carry a tub of spare washers to add on each time it streched a bit more.

 

also know a chap who drove from NE scotland to the south of france in a PUG 205 he had several calour gas bottles in the boot and a length of rubber hose running from them over the back seat inbetween the front seats through the dash and into the fule line.

Teeth, for holding anything at the top of a tree when both hands busy

Concrete to stop the exhaust blowing where the manifold just wouldn't pull up tight enough to the cylinder head. Great thick wodge of it all along the top.

 

Nothing - or more accurately, eyelids - to finish some welding on the boat when my welding helmet blew overboard and sank. Just did it with my eyes shut.

My chipper throttle handle is currently 'fixed' by ramming a bit of willow in there so it stays on full revs, i could fix it properly but that would be sensible
