Carburator Fire
I could not start up the Cessna 152 with the cold, i did all the procedure's that are in the POH for cold starting operations but no luck!
So i called in the tech guy, he came with his battery, he just told me, apply the brakes and did all the starting himselfs, the engine fired up loudly with white smoke comming out of the cowling, he just yelled at me, don't worry, you just had a carburator fire, you can go fly now! Wich i did.. the engine runned smooth and normal but the plane did go into the tech hands after my flight, he told me to check the battery etc...
But is that correct ? Isn't a carburator fire/backfire dangerous ? In my books i read that carburator fire could result in killing the carburator completely ?
