So some real simple thinking here boys , if you see fire coming from something why would you start fucing with the ignition and electrical parts first ? they are working or there wouldn't be any fire in the first place .
Next big light bulb moment for you rocket scientists should be if you see fire either the gasket is gone or clamp isn't on ?
And here's another though blown head gasket , does it make a whistling noise ?

Not sure of the cause, but fire out of the exhaust pipe is pretty damn righteous!!
My old BSA Lightning usta do that, back in the day. Set my little teeny-bopper GF's bell bottoms on fire once. Man, that was bikish as hell!
