Carb flames are causes by a variety of things. most often the engine is advanced to far or you have a carb leak interally that puts to much fuel in the engine. If the engine has high miles the intake valves may be leaking allow the flame to escape around it.

Flames coming from a carburetor are typically caused by a backfire, which occurs when unburnt fuel in the exhaust system ignites. This can happen due to issues such as a rich air-fuel mixture, faulty ignition timing, or a clogged exhaust system. It is important to address the root cause of the backfire to prevent potential damage to the engine.

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.
