I went the other day, 102* and I had tried pull starting my motor at boat landing fir about 45mins. Thought I was gonna pass out, left river and went to a pond after cooling off some. 

 

Heat also affects your attitude, so just don't let it get the best of you. 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

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
