Dont put your face next to the pipe?

And most likely too rich.

Even when they are tuned perfectly the smoke will choke you and burn your eyes..

I started an engine once in a little shed. Within two minutes, my eyes where burning and I went outside. Will I ever do this again? No...

So yes, this is quite normal.

smoke contain acid, H2SO4, it's a product of the combustion. That is burning your eyes...

Try some Odonnel fuel you will cry & puke

And if thats not enough 4 you get a drop on your clothes it will turn yellow

Good fuel if you can get passed all that

There is alcohal in the fuel to help the engine run cooler. If you have ever been to a drag strip and standing next to a car that runs on alcohal you wont be standing there long

yeah its some strong stuff, but its my favorite fuel... its funny though when your going around the track and hear people say "someone is running O'donnell fuel" ... however, the new Speed blend doesnt smell and doesnt burn your eyes. i forgot about the Race blend when i switched back to it to run the rest of what i had out and cranked the engine up and the eyes started burning LOL
