I thought some came from factory with flame issues? I've been pulled over once, and just explained the whole rotary thing and then gassed it for him so he could see the flames. The cop smiled and said he missed his first gen. He really just wanted to ask about mine, lol...

When mine was on the road, towards the end it would shoot flames a lot, I had gotten pulled over a few time, cop actually tried to look underneth for a cat, which was there, just melted to sh*t. I lit my friends bumper on fire because he was too close to the rear. Now that I have taken it off the road to work on, everytime I start it it fires, I got yelled at by my father for almost setting the fence up. My guess is that its running extremely rich and has alot of excess unburned fuel in the pipe.

Are you sure your trailing plug is firing?
