And Yes Paul we were witness to that event, Jim, Don, and I were impressed.....
If you turn off the mags just allow the engine to stop spinning then restart. The engine will be flooded but it will restart without dammage. Turning the mags back on will result in a loud bang if you are lucky, and most likly engine dammage. I have doen this too. I pull the mixture lean ASAP and all the engine to stop, then start cranking as the engine catches I push the mixture back in full rich... for those without mixture just restart... If engine pops and tries to die KEEP CRANKING.. this is your best insurance to not catch fire!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul M.
