TBR7 Won't start

Called Q9 and they're not being very helpful so far...

Double checked the valves... Don't what else to do.

Here's a video, it's puttering more consistently.

Airbox, exhaust is disconnected. Carb has to be wide open...

In the video I start with no choke, then choke and half choke (which don't putter at all), then throw the choke back off. When I give it gas you can see gas shooting out of the carb, hear the backfiring, and I saw flame come out of the exhaust port.

Guess I either have to take the motor apart or prove to these guys half way across the country that something's wrong internally... buyer beware I guess. Thanks for the tips guys.
