I had the floats set wrong and gas flooded out of the carb like a fountain and started a pretty good fire. All is well but I toasted some wire.

Good investments for your stocker:

Painless Extreme Duty wire under the hood
Fire extinguisher next to the seat

Dale assuming you are talking about the MagnaFuel 4450. I'm wondering what regulator(s) you were using? What was you inlet supply line size and outlet line size as well as bypass line size? What was your system pressure? MB.
