Well it happened, but not bad.. I put gas in the tank of my new 13.5 hp Subaru motor .. I turned it over ,and over , and over .. it never started.. In fact it flooded .. and then one last turn and poof.. FIRE all over my new motor..So I freaked and ran inside the store and grabed the nearest extinguisher and put it out... then I notice that one of the bolts had broken on the motor that I had mounted it down with ...I guess I flooded it , gas flooded and leaked out and the loose ground wire that was on the bolt holding the motor down probably sprked and now I have a cooked subaru motor. I rigged the motor bolt back up and it finally startedand ran so I guess no permant damage but now it idles like crap.. Guess I will call about warranty info.. I have only run this motor 12 times maybe 36 hours and even when it was new it was always a pain in the butt to start
