I remember my first job….For some reason, I was checking spark or cranking the 4hp over with the plugs out in the test tank…And then puufff, the thing was on fire….The extinguisher was on the other side of the shop, so I unclamped the little engine and dunked it in the test tank! Fortunately, it didn’t get wet under the flywheel, so just cranked the water out and it started right up….Often wondered if anyone else noticed, I think I was alone in the shop….
