My neighbor thought that he had froze the engine in his GMC Jimmy while
working on the carb(or FI).
I said,"check and see if your cylinders are ful of gas". "How" he asked.
I told him to remove the sparke plugs and then crank it over.
I didn't think to tell him he should also remove the spark plugs and
wires from the vicinity. Soon I hear a lound "WHOOMPH" and then a lot of
nervous shouting and yelling. I go over to see what's the matter. Lots
of smoke!
Seems I was right. His cylinders were full of gasoline....
