Self-immolation has never been so funny

I kept thinking to myself.... the only thing that would make this funnier is if he put the garden hose straight into the carburetor..... and he did.

Was he trying to start it AFTER it was on fire? :rolleyes:

Actually that's an old trick, it's been a while since I've seen it done, so perhaps someone more enlightened can tell it better, but I've seen it where the flames are actually put out by being sucked into the carb. I think it only works for backfires. It's pretty freaky, but it works... or you blow up.

Not when the entire engine is on fire...
 
Shawn put it back up!
I was told & seen it work, with a backfire that is just burning in the carb, just turn it over, & the vacuum will suck the flame down the intake.
 
Where was the KABOOM ?..............................................there was supposed to be an Earth shattering kaboom!!!

Am I the only one who saw the big arc/spark when he started turning it?........that video is much shorter but still funnyer than the infamous Canadian shedbuilding one IMO.................. I really like how he tried to blow the flames out till he was breathless.
