Post Prodrive back fire
What typically causes a backfire. Motor runs great, but backfires when I shut motor off and immediately turn it back on. If I were to wait a minute b4 starting it up, it typically does not.

Was thinking of cleaning the carb, but I just did that 2 years ago and have really had no issues with the carb. Motor idles perfectly at around 1100 RPMs.

I always use new gas, has new gas line, and after disconnecting the fuel lines for storage I throw the old gas in the truck in the spring.

Motor has around 340 hrs.

Just wondering.

Thanks

Sucking cool air back up in the heads through a blown exhaust gasket can cause that. :razz:

As can the engine just not quite getting enough fuel on that last (on shut off) or first (cranking it so quickly after shutting it off) burn cycle (effectively a lean condition, but nothing to worry about).
