In my experience with Doxfords scavenge fires were initiated by the crud in the scavenge space drying out(insufficient cylinder oil) and excessive piston blow-past. 5+mm liner wear on the 750 bore engines and things could get exciting so it was definitely time to up the lubricators before the entablature paint started to change colour!
