Narrative:

After landing on runway 29 at ZZZ; I was told to exit at taxiway foxtrot and contact ground. After contacting ground; I was given clearance to taxi to the FBO. Before taxiing; I went through the after landing checklist which consisted of leaning the mixture (other items were also completed). In order to reach the FBO I needed to proceed to taxiway foxtrot; echo; across alpha; proceeded to lima; and lastly across papa. When reaching the end of taxiway lima I advanced the throttle in order to gain forward momentum to cross papa; at that time the engine coughed and shutoff. I proceeded to attempt to restart the engine. Once I placed the mixture full forward; there was a loud bang and then flames and smoke followed immediately. I exited the aircraft as quickly as possible and observed several people and firefighters trying to extinguish the flames. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
