Yeah, I'll have a look, but I thought backfiring always points to the ignition!!

If you find a big hill to drive up in low revs at WOT and it starts doing it, then that would help to indicate it as well. Have you put any of those carby cleaner products in the fuel? Sometimes I think that can help dislodge grime and sludge in the tank which will then clog your filter. > Check the fuel filter is not partially blocked > > Cheers > Feral Errol > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Justin Friedrichs > Sent: Monday, 25 March 2002 9:52 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: BACKFIRES, SPLUTTERING, IGN PROBS > > Listers, > > For a few weeks my 1600 -L20B with BB elec ign.
