usually the ignition system is shut off after revving up the motor. When you shut off the ignition, the spark plug in the tail pipe is supposed to ignite and burn the unburnt fuel as the motor freewheels before it comes to a stop. Eventually you switch the engine ignition back on and the motor fires back up. Mike, it sounds like you aren't killing the engine's ignition system and it's still burning the majority of the fuel and none of it's shooting out the tail pipe.
