It’s one of our shop cars. Actually was really nice paint and a hot rod engine. Backfire through the carbs, fire started, 30 seconds and it was gone.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Sep 24 2018, 08:11 PM)  Backfire through the carbs, fire started, 30 seconds and it was gone. I had one do that. A balanced/blueprinted euro-spec 2.0 with dual carbs. My sister was driving it (I was driving a Lotus Europa I had just bought). Almost to a friend's house and I looked back and noticed she was falling back. I turned around to see what was going on and that's when I saw flames coming out the engine bay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Luckily had a fire extinguisher and put it out. Insurance paid for a partial rebuild. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
