Default Re: Backfiring

I notice nobody has asked whether you’re using a Zenith carb, a Tillotson carb, a Marvel carb. The Tillotsons and Marvels, being pot metal, have a tendency toward at the mounting flange, causing vacuum leaks, which will definitely have an effect on overall running.

And, while having the GAV adjustment at the choke rod open a full turn is usually way too much for a Zenith, 1/2 to 3/4 turn open for Tillotsons is not that strange.
