Flames?
Bit of a random question, but i was wondering if many of you get flames out of your exhaust. My mate had a mini cooper with a straigh through exhaust,
and because it messed up the lambda reading, it often ran rich, and back fired, never saw it flame though. Just wondered if anyone with twin carbs
ever had flames from their exhaust?

Was with Donut the other day, with his pinto that isn't set up properly yet, and when he turns it off, after a couple of seconds a VERY smart
blue cone shaped flame shoots out of the exhaust .
It looks sooo good i think i want one on mine !! 
Very trick

You can buy flamer kits, which are basically a spark plug an the gubbins to make it spark when you push a button, that you fit into the underside of
your tail pipe. This cause the unburnt fuel/gases coming out the exhuast t ignite and gives a very cool flame thrower effect!!

I used to get huge flames out the back of my Mini which was caused by the SU carb float chamber needle valve sticking open and flooding the carb. It
had a competition silencers RC40 single box straight through system.
It was quite distracting to cars driving behind when they got a 6 foot yellow flame engulfing their car... Bloody good for getting
"tailgaters" to give me some room though
Cheers,
Craig.

I haven't had my twin carbs setup properly yet, but i had flames come through a few times because one of my spark plugs had gone, don't
know how and why. i only found out by feeling each exhaust manifold only to find out the 4th cylinder was cold..changed all the plugs and it now runs
sweet as a nut.

Easy to make for a few quid aswell
All you need is a coil, Ht lead, spark plug and enough wire to connect to existing coil via a switch
They look really kewl unless your behind someone with it !!
