Apologies for another FB link...

Jost because you know how to build Lego models doesn't mean those mad skills translate to putting up shelves in the real world.

The vid asks what went wrong, but since we have a resident professional, I thought it best to ask @olbriar ...

Strictly a guess. The lady was using a high octane starter in an aerosol can. Just a puff in the carburetor is plenty. It's difficult to see through the verbiage overlaying the video.

I don't have a video but I once set a mower on fire. I was mulching leaves and they had piled up and were ignited by the exhaust to the muffler. I tried to pull the burning mess off of the mower but couldn't so I drove the mower out of the back yard, through the front yard and into the street... like a burning chariot. I then started my blower and blew the burning leaves off of the mower. It caused less than $200 damage from melting all of the plastic on the intake and carb. It would have made a great video short.

I'm grateful it wasn't more serious than that.

But yes, the burning chariot (or char-iot?) would have been a funny video.
