Default Another one

No names . But a fellow MV enthusiast here in australia had some trouble starting a Chev 216 in a Blitz . The inlet manifold became flooded with petrol after repeated attempts to start the thing. The bonnet and engine covers were lifted and spark plugs removed . OOPS....... the ig switch was still in the ON position .

As the fellow lent over the motor , something sparked and there was a big BOOM ..... the poor fellow spent a week in the burns ward of a hospital.

true story ....
