Any carburetor gurus left out there?

[grateful1]

hmmmmmm- ok a quick off the cuff question- to anyone that's worked on cars, particularly with carbs....

You crank the car over and at first you're scared by the loud "bang", then the bottom drops out of your stomach when you see the residual flames flickering out of the top of the carb... 1st instinct???

a nursery rhyme comes to mind- " he huffed and he puffed and he blew the...." flames out???

It's amazing how much air you can deliver when the adrenaline kicks in....

Cool!
