Rich,
I once had a young cousin who did that.
He was out of the hospital in less than 6 months....
after major skin grafting and agonizing therapy.

Seems the engine backfired and the gas stream then
burned back to the jug he was holding over the carburetor.

Youngsters destined to be firemen are a lucky lot? g


Barnyard BOb - that which does not kill us makes us stronger?

He should have put the gas in a Windex bottle and stood back to squirt
it into the carb. I watched a guy show and engine to a potential buyer
while the engine sat in the middle of his yard using this technique.

Now, how do you hunker over the cowling to spray that bottle into the
carb while on downwind?

Maybe use a garden sprayer type system?
