They performed an in-depth autopsy and I learned that the float was installed in manner that caused it to hang up.  So as poor Pierre drove home, his carburetor continued to fill up with gasoline until it spilled over onto the hot engine and ignited. 

My $25 goodwill gesture, turned into a $250 rebuild of hoses and wires, all at my expense.  It was a hard lesson learned, but it could at least be partly blamed on a universal male syndrome – the reluctance to read instructions.
