Any ideas???

pulled the carb, and replaced the power valve.. still backfired through the carb, turned the mixture screws out and it decreased a bit (must of been lean).. but it still does it, not as bad but still there!!

almost there....

could it be the outside temp and the jetting?????

coil prob was a disconnected wire!!

thx Chris for your help!!!

If you backfired through the carb again, you probably blew out the power valve again.

You need a vacuum gauge. get one, and we'll fix this tomorrow.

Take care
