    Get your valves adjusted first, that could be tha cause of your backfire. You can adjust them either while it's running or sitting. If you need to know how, let me know and I'll explain both to you. If you still have backfire, in my experience backfire through the carb is usually timing. Not always, but usually.

    Sometimes that is all it takes. Take a breather and it all falls together. That is one of my motto's, when you get frustrated, step back and breath, generally when you come back it falls right together.

    What works best for me is to stand back and breath, then get a beer.
