Nice, that flat head looks to be running a wasted spark setup and looks like it has a very good exhaust system.

From the guys comments in the video it's retarded timing so looking closely it's still burning on the exhaust stroke. It's a stationary engine so yeah magneto fires every crank rev.

I just find it interesting how it looks like the flames are been sucked out of the exhaust port.

Neat, the last one would have some serious EGTs with the retarded timing!
