If raw gas is getting in the muffler that can klead toa real disaster. I have a 13 HP B&S lawn tractor that would dump gas into the muffler and would spit it out until it fired up. Progressively quick the problem got worse to the point it would shoot out more gas--but it still started no problem. One day it wouldn't start. Stupidly, I knealt down next to it and jumped the starter, gas shooting out, while my helper turned the key. All of a sudden gas sprayed out like a power washer---on my hand, up my bare arm and the side of my face, ear and nose. It caught fire and so did it I. I ran around in circles screaming like a little girl trying to put it out. I lost part of my ear and some of my pride. I didn't lose any stupidity though. DOH!
