Unburned fuel in the exhaust system causes the backfire from the exhaust pipe.
I think you are hearing pressure pops. Not a backfire.
unburned fuel in the exhaust ignites
a backfire is caused by incorrect timing or not enough back pressure in the exhaust pipe
backfire timing off
Too rich-unburned fuel in exhaust.
A large backfire is most likely caused by a bad spark plug or plug wire. Unburned air and fuel pumped into the exhaust will often be ignited by the other cylinders still burning exhaust gases. Also check your ignition timing, if it is late and you have a rich mixture you can get a backfire. An exhaust leak will let air enter the exhaust under deceleration and cause a "popping" sound.
you must have air leaking into the exhaust system that will cause backfire when you decelerate raw gas goes into the system
bad plugs or wires i just had this problem to or it could be a leak in the exhaust
you have a leak in the exhaust system lets in air
running lean can cause your 400ex to backfire ..if it backfires on deceleration its lean ...if it pops on acceleration its running rich.====carb issues
Backfire is an explosion produced by a running internal combustion engine that occurs in the intake or exhaust system rather than inside the combustion chamber,
