He musta thought he was Superman blowing on it like that. And is it me but is he still trying to start it when the flames started? Sure, pump some more gas by cranking it!

Ouch, his explanation makes sense I guess, but still starting an engine without manifolds isnt a good idea...
Lucky he just got 2nd degree burns.
A guy just burnt his house down not too far from me. He tried starting his lawn mower with the spark plug removed after spilling a bunch of gas on his garage floor.

I hope he's alright.... My friends parents left for a vacation a couple weeks ago so he felt like scarface and was smoking cigars around the house... Well he ashed the lit cigar in the garbage and burnt half his house down....
Heres the pic he posted just before his house burnt down lool
Kids... You gotta love em

Yeah the family is OK. I think the lesson learned here is to have an ABC extinguisher handy and do fuel related work outside.
