Hurricane burn

The engine was cross wired and I had a backfire and the carb caught on fire.........corrected firing order and had carb cleaned from fire extinguisher white powered and have driven 5500 miles with no
issues . Be careful spraying starter fluid with an engine back firing .

There have been lot's of improvements ............still plugging along . I installed new heatshields on the side pipes and bought me some race shoes for ankle support . I am
getting older and the car is a challenge at times . I still love my Hurricane though ! Once again I hope to make San Marcos in the Spring of 22' . Lots of things going on
but I will be hopeful , Mike

The nice thing about starter fluid is, after a lot of cranking or kicking and a lot of squirts of the can, you no longer care about the bloody machine starting! Don't ask me how I know?

The only vehicles I have ever used starting fluid on were COLD Military diesels , Ed
