[Roadsters] throttle body backfire -- enough to take my fingers off?

 I don't think anyone is going to seriously recommend that you do that. I'm not.
I'd check out the carbs to find out why the backfire.
good luck

All,

Still trying to start my car.  And, for reasons to numerous to explain(history 
of jamming), I've been tempted to lift my SU's by hand while I'm trying to start 
the car. The only risk is that the car has been backfiring through the throttle 
body.  Not often, but enough to make me concerned that if I stick my hands in 
there during a start that I'll lose a finger in the bargain.

Any thoughts? What care should I take in handling a throttle body backfire -- 
are these strong enough to turn tools into weapons?  Take a finger off? . . .
