I've got a kick-only SL350 engine that I rebuilt in the spring and have not gotten it to run yet. Triple checked the valves and static timing and everything is to spec. Compression test read 125 psi on both cylinders. I've got a new set of Mikuni VM30 carbs on it (bench synced to the best of my ability). My foot is sore from trying to get this thing to kick start.
So far the only signs of life it's shown have been the right carb blowing off the manifold once and then flames shooting out of it another time.
Any ideas what is causing this or what I should try? It's also been about 30 degrees outside every time I've tried starting it, so maybe that's not helping.
