I've been reading through the forums bored, and found a few cases where a couple of carburetted festivas had caught fire and burned up. Are there any warning signs of a possible fire risk? My 88 LX runs good, for the most part, timing is correct, and I recently fixed an issue with the O2 sensor. Though I am still getting low miles and I have the 5 speed.

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
