Flame outs should involve open flames and yous are destroying my mental pictures.
some real flame throwers work by causing some cylenders to not fire (ie cut spark) so the fuel mix travels out exhaust. then you have spark plug in exhuastpipe to ignite this mix.
but you need to buy a computerized thingamy to make your engine missfire (properly).
Seriously at least get your terminology right. What you're looking for is a
'backfire'. This occurs when a rich mixture bypasses the combustion process and remains in the header(s)/exhaust piping until a flow of superheated exhaust comes along and ignites it resulting in a fire racing out the tail pipe.
This is exactly why I don't condone the movie FatF. See what it does to our society these days?! Yeah fire out the exhuast is really cool!?
