[QUOTE="Talons, post: 285008, member: 9778"] The engine didn't start for him on the water because after it overheated, it was hot enough to cause vapor lock. Then his cord broke. By the time he got home and fixed the rope the lock was gone and it started right up. You are right, vapor lock doesn't melt wires, but that kind of temp def turns gas to vapor. Im sorry for not stating exactly what I meant. I thought there was a question as to why it would not start after the overheat, but then started right up at home. I might have just thought the question was posted. Talons [/QUOTE]
