[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 9595, member: 82"] As ken said, letting oil and leaves/grass build up is the main cause but electrical shorts are a big one too. Especially in 743's, the starter solenoid *can* fall apart inside causing a dead short to ground. This causes the battery cables to catch fire (this is a known fault with the starter). If the machine was kept clean this would only leave a scortch mark but when its full of grease and oil it can ignite, when the fire hits the fuel hose its all over. [/QUOTE]
