Default Flame thrower>

I was just wondering if you could make flames shoot out your exhaust like the used to do with cars back in the old days. I know you could if you put a spark plug somewhere near the end of the exhaust has anyone tried it on a ds. Would make for some nice pictures.

this is how the whole flame thrower deal is supposed to work, (in a single cylinder bike the motor would just die if the spark was cut for this i think though) in a multi cylinder car you would cut the spark to a couple cylinders to get fuel goin down the exhaust pipe OR you could inject a little gas into the tail pipe, then---- when it gets to the end of the pipe it hits the sparkin spark plug and there u go, flamin A$$ on demand, i dunno though, it might just ignite in the hot tail pipe and give you one hell of a backfire, hey it might even blow off the cap of yer muffler, hhhmmmm maybe try it with an old exhaust pipe first.... so inject fuel and switch spark to the tailpipe plug, hmmm you first.....lates josh.....

you should and supposed to use a separate coil to fire the muffler spark plug. So you shouldn't lose performance and you have to hook that up to a switch so it only does it when you want it to. But I don't remember how they gewt the extra fuel in the exhaust.

I can make flames shoot out my exhaust without having any of that stuff y'all are talking about. As long as I don't have the super trap setup on it.
