I have a new 120SX (only about 7 flights on it) that is shooting a couple of flames out during start up. Could somebody tell me what I need to change so this will not continue happening. I'm guessing there is a setting to reduce initial fuel flow during start(?) I'm new to jets so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

any kerosene start will shoot short warm (yellow) flames on start up.

Okay, thanks for the heads up. Still new to the jet game so I wasn't sure if this was normal or not.

You can reduce the amount of flame comming out to practically nothing by following the instructions in the manual for priming the kero start fuel line, as the 120SX pump breaks in you may have to adjust this again to ensure you only get a couple of drips of fuel comming out of the start line every second or so, this has worked on my 120SX to prevent flaming, but as KC says you will always get some small flame out of the turbine during the start up phase, but it should only be small.

I would call Bob Wilcox or Scott and see what they say. My 160sx does not have any flame on the start, none that I have noticed.
