The pilot landed and attempted to taxi to the ramp. When he added power from idle to 1000 rpm, the engine lost all power. He attempted to restart the engine, but there was a 'loud' backfire. The pilot reported 'a vapor-like smoke around the engine....flames surrounded the entire engine cowling.' He attempted to extinguish the fire, but it grew stronger, and he was not successful. The engine and carburetor were examined in an effort to determine the origin of the fire. There was evidence 'that raw fuel entered the engine compartment and ignited.' However, due to the fire damage, the origin of fuel entering the engine compartment was not determined.
Probable Cause: the loss of engine power and the eruption of a fire for undetermined reasons.
