your engine will sound rough while at idle speed and your gas milage will start getting worse. it also might start to backfire and make a little more noise than it normally would.

Why would flames come out of your carburetor when trying to start your engine?
AnswerSounds to me that your vehicle is off time. Check the timing on it. If the timing is off it will backfire through the carb and also if it is cross wired (firing order wrong) it will backfire through the carb.
