Doesn't look like a powersounder fire to me... I'd expect the scuttle to melt quickly :-/ :-/

agreed, not sure what that ones caused by  :-/

Tough one to guess... I wonder if there had been any work done recently before the fire?

If I had to speculate I'd be looking as a slight leak from one of the fuel lines onto the manifold :-/

Looking at the flash burning to the sound deadening on the underside of the bonnet, I'd have to conclude a fuel leak from plenum end of the fuel lines...  :'(

Yes, I think it must have been fuel-related. I had in fact removed and completely rebuilt the engine not long before. I'd checked carefully and hadn't spotted any fuel leaks though.
