LOL!  Glad you got it fixed.  I learned the plug part the hard way
when, after decalifornicating mine, I filled it up when gas and when
pulling out of the gas station I hammered the throttle.  The gas
pouring out of the hose and landing right in front of my rear tire
made it rather "interesting" for a few moments.  :-)
