That much flame is not a normal thing.
No its normal starting.

You have the flame colour about right for initial start up but probably to fast in engine speed, slower start to run up.

I've seen a few of these engines start up

1. Lazy/slow red/yellow flame from fuel primed start up.

2. Blue smoke clearing cylinders with yellow flames to brown/grey smoke.

3. Blue with yellow tips on engine run up and under run.

4. Shut down black/grey exhaust smoke short burst.

If I can find some of my video will e-mail it.
