If I had a stick of dynamite in my truck I woulda blown my kicker to the Moon that day. Stay hydrated guys! Pulling a rip cord of a flooded engine is about as hot as I have ever been when not on a roof. I used to mow yards in college and our backpack blowers were always flooded. Only way to start them was hold the throttle open and keep pulling the cord Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted July 4, 2018 Super User Posted July 4, 2018 I've seen 2 guys have actual heat stroke. Years ago, working in construction. Both stopped sweating, and one vomited badly. A dangerous situation.One of these guys had to be taken to a hospital. As others have said, stay hydrated, sweating is good, and if you feel nauseated, or sweating less,get out of the heat and rest in a cool place. It can be very serious Quote
