takai Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide Registered: May 2003	Re: Why quads should be boxed (Lessons learnt at Mallala) Wed, 27 April 2005 13:40 *sigh*. That was exactly what my original theory was. Quote: Im pretty sure that it occured due to the throttle getting stuck open, hit redline and due to the lack of exhaust gas sucking the fuel/air mix out of the intake it ignited (probably when it hit the extractors) and flashed back through while both intake and exhaust valves were open, then ignited the fuel air mix still in the throat and propogated until it hit the socks. Quote: Well given that one of the most exposed wires (ran across the top of the cam covers) was the ignition wiring im pretty sure thats why the engine died. Quote: No, the car stalled for some reason which is yet to be determined. Unsure whether it was before or after the fire started. Logic tells me it was after the fire started, as there is little way for a fire to start after the engine has cut out. Will investigate this further. Crap inside the cylinders/head should tell me this one. All quotes from further up in this thread I completely dont see what you are getting at. I came to this theory on Monday about 20mins after i got the car off the track and started poking around. I still havnt found any evidence to modify my theory, except to add a possible clause that the engine stalled completely seperately to the fire, but that fact doesnt change the fact that the fire would have already started when the engine stalled (for whatever reason) [Report message to a moderator]
