Wow thats even dumber than the Iranians climbing the electric pole to
steal power (posted a few weeks ago).

A college friend of mine once tried to "dry out" a flooded carburetor
in dead winter by "burning off" the excess fuel in the carburator
throat. He was running for the extinguisher when the rubber gas line
started burning too.
