Fragments can get into carburetor jets or injector orifices and block
the flow.


The only way tape fragments can enter the system is if the tape is
applied incorrectly, another case of a fine product getting dissed
because of human error.



Yes, if you leave 2 threads uncovered at the end, the tape will not enter
the system when you assemble it. But, the next time you disassemble it,
bits may be left on the threads which may then get pushed into the sytem
when you re-assemble.



Like I said, human error.
