It could be bad fuel. Fuel usually only has a certain shelf life. Try putting fresh fuel in the lines and see how it goes. Might take 10 or 20 mins to clear up.

Does it backfire when mufflers are attached? As stated before, bad gas or maybe water in the gas from sitting through a wet winter?

The reason I ask about the mufflers is, I once made a set of real short headers and promptly burnt the valves up on one pass down the strip.

I haven't hooked up the exhaust yet. quots are $700!!!! Doing it myself. Could I have always had the backfire but never noticed it with the exhaust hooked up?

Put new gas in it and still the same. Ran for 20 min.
