Unbelievable. I remember the old days of racing enduros on my PE400, filling up the tank and having the fuel overflow onto the hot engine. That must have been close to flash point and there would not have been much I could have done to put any fire out especially as the fuel cap would still have been off!

Remember, even a spark plug, sparking away madly, sometimes isn't enough to ignite the air/fuel mix.

Conditions have to be just right.

My little TT had such a leaky carb due to all the o-rings being shot that nearly 3L of fuel was dripping onto the engine and evaporating per tank.
170km per tank vs 240km when I replaced the o-rings.

The TT engine will run at >140 deg C in the hills. Up to 170 deg when you turn it off and there's no oil circulating.

But the conditions only have to be just right once to ruin your day.

My PE175 fell over one day and a stick knocked the carb away from the inatke manifold. There was a sheet of flame that went up three feet as the bike fell. I remounted the carb and rode away...

Wonder if it's been re-jetted for the opened exhaust?

It'd be a good deal at $4,300. It's a little high @ $4,700 but very tidy looking.

May be a better choice http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-356311318.htm

Although I'd sell mine for a fair price, 2007 with big tank and can plus a few other bits and bobs.
