Hi All, took the car out of storage, cleaned, took for a 20 min ride. Was running great. 3 min from home, it started to run really rough. Not sure if it was on fire at this point, but barely made it home. got out and flames were shooting from the grid. Fire extinguisher was close, so put out pretty quickly. Rain tray melted and made a mess. The carb filter totally burned and destroyed. All fuel lines in good shape, no leaks. So what would make the carb catch on fire like this? float? timing? this pic is after trying to clean the fire extinguisher mess off- it still runs fine actually. Ideas?

There are 2 galley plugs on the inside face of each carb. You can see them in the pass side carb picture. They work their way out and then like a open hose they gush. Are both plugs in place on the burned up carb? Happened to me. No fire but I thought it was all over. Found the plug on the tin and tapped it in with a rock, drove home, took the carbs off and had the plugs replaced on both carbs.
