    if in a garage have door open and nothing parked outside so you can roll it out if on fire

    have fire ext handy

    don't pour fuel into carb while cranking as a backfire will ignite your container and you will then toss it--a flaming Molinkof cocktail which will cause bigger fire

    do outside if possible

    check for spark

    BTW the fire extinguisher is a double thumbs up. I keep them all around the property.

    BUT.. I would recommend a CO2 unit. You really don't want to have to tear off the carb and intake manifold to clean out the baking soda.

    Don't ask how I know. But it WAS less work than replacing the wires and other plastic stuffs.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
