Default Uh OH! FLAMES!

I just took my Rap out for a quick Thanksgiving tour around the backyard. Between gears its shooting flames! Its not like a wavy flame, its a quick shot like a butane lighter gives off. I dont know if this is a good thing, or a bad thing. I think it may be time to change my plug again. But its too cold, and I don't have time to check, dinner time... Please give me ideas, as to whether this is a good or a bad thing, and why its happening!!!

I have a Big Gun pipe on it WITH spark arrestor... What the hell is goin on?

Yes, but when the weather gets cold it can go lean on you. Cold air is more dense therefore the engine can take more of it in than it can warm air. I'd richen the jetting up just a little.

If you are like me, a lazy ****. Just put your airbox lid back on or put some tape on your air filter, that way you dont have to do all that work all the time.

I was ready to stop the flame until I realized this is a real flame situation.

Don't put the flame too near me. I burn easily.

Could also be a burnt exhaust valve or one adjusted too tight where its not closing all the way.

I sure as he11 wouldn't ride it until you find out what's wrong. Sounds to me your running way to lean as posted before, go up one size bigger on both your mains and back down your pilots 2 positions.
