Re: Runaway motor with plug leads removed

Maybe, but I really doubt it. To do so it would have to be dieseling. If the engine is hot enough, and has a high amount of carbon build-up that might create a hot-spot that would allow the mixture to light off. But I’m not even sure you’d get those conditions in one of these motors. It can happen with carbed gasoline 4-strokes though.

I’m fairly sure you’d have to have it running beforehand, though.
