Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

An engine fire after landing for reasons that could not be determined.

Factual narrative

After completion of a local flight, the pilot landed and exited the runway. Shortly after exiting the runway the airplane’s engine stopped running. The pilot attempted to restart the engine, which was unsuccessful, and he noticed smoke. The pilot and passenger exited the airplane and a fire ensued that damaged the forward fuselage and firewall. Postaccident examination of the airplane indicated that the fire was concentrated in an area near the left carburetor. Examination of the carburetor did not reveal any anomalies; however, the extent of the fire damage precluded determination of the source of the fire.
