had a 56 ford pickup 223 six.. carb had gotten some junk in it. would start missing.. I would stop, cross a couple of plug wires.. crank it over,, let it backfire.. and presto!! carb was blown clean and the crud was back into the bowl awaiting the next opportunity to clog up the main jets... one nite at a friends apt, the ole truck did the cough cough, so i pulled the air cleaner off, crossed it,, crank it over and as it popped back, it blew out flaming gas all over the side of the engine and fenders... I looked everywhere for a hose, and saw a bucket of water in front of a door, so grabbed it and ran back and threw the water on the fire... and someones frozen hamburger.. that was thawing out.. all over the engine..
oops..
crossed it back, started up and got the heck out of dodge... I could smell hamburger cooking for days after that. So next day off, pulled the carb down and clean the crud out of the bowl.
