I guess we should start at the beginning.. whats the
engine and combo... and have you done a compression
check to see if you have a valve issue(or a leak down)
and is it on decell they see flames

How big is the carb and whats the jetting.. sounds
like your putting raw fuel into the pipes... also
are you running a PV and the biggest thing is what
are the plugs telling you.. sounds like they should
be dark if you pull one or two at the end of the track
