It runs and starts up quickly.
But it'll shoot fire out the exhaust a lot. What's that mean? Fix for it?

[yaegerb]

what does your plug look like and do you have any air leaks at the exhaust manifold?

[coryseiber]

Plug is pretty dark.
I'll get one of those.
I'll check for air leaks tonight when I get off of work.

[yaegerb]

check that you have zero air leaks coming out of the exhaust manifold. Cold air entering into the header can cause fire sometimes.

[coryseiber]

there is a slight leak in the exhaust.

I'm thinking that ill need a rebuild on the engine. not really something I'm confident in doing myself.
or a swap, which i could definitely do myself.
