Fire out tailpipes?!
So for a while now ive known that my car shoots flames out my tailpipes if I gun it too hard or if I engine brake. Is this because of my carburetor?

Cool!
Well, sorta, unless the cops catch you.
That'd be retarded timing, or possibly too rich. "carb" isn't an excuse that's for sure. Look for something wrong.

Well too rich sounds like a ballpark idea.. It did it even with my old engine so thats why I was asking if it carb related considering the carb is the only piece i used from my old engine.
