Hi Eveybody, I am looking for ideas on what to check for the backfiring that just developed. Last fall when I parked "Shasta" my 52 with a 56 235 in her, she ran fine. I would go out every week or two an run her up to operating temp. When I went to drive her a couple of weeks ago she had developed a nasty backfire. After reading past posts I have a couple of ideas, but any and all suggestions are appreciated. Ok here is the situation. She starts easily, starts to warm up, then starts popping. Then she frequently dies. After sitting for awhile she starts, pops, and if I keep her running once up to operating temp quits popping. I did find the exaust to tailpipe loose. I tightened it but that did not help. She also has a new Carter YF carb, plugs, points, and condenser. Thanks for the help.
