GasSavers_Erik Registered Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 1,027	How bad was the fire? Much damage? I haven't ever heard of an electric solenoid that controlled fuel level in the carb. I thought the electronic solenoid on most of these lawnmowers was an antideiseling solenoid- that cuts fuel to the idle circuit when the key is turned off so it doesn't run on. Maybe the float valve has dirt in it or the float is sunk- that would be my guess as to why it is flooding so bad and diluting the oil/catching fire. Maybe the blade belt was slipping and got so hot that it caught fire.
