Exhaust backfire during acceleration typically occurs due to an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture, often caused by a lean mixture (too much air) or unburned fuel igniting in the exhaust system. Other factors can include ignition timing issues, a malfunctioning fuel injector, or exhaust leaks. This phenomenon can also happen if the engine is running too rich, leading to unburned fuel entering the exhaust. Proper tuning and maintenance can help prevent backfiring.
Unburned fuel in the exhaust system causes the backfire from the exhaust pipe.
I think you are hearing pressure pops. Not a backfire.
a backfire is caused by incorrect timing or not enough back pressure in the exhaust pipe
unburned fuel in the exhaust ignites
A Harley may backfire under acceleration due to an overly rich fuel mixture, which allows unburned fuel to enter the exhaust system and ignite. This can also occur if there are issues with the ignition timing or if the spark plugs are worn or fouled. Additionally, exhaust leaks can contribute to backfiring by disrupting the proper flow of exhaust gases. Regular maintenance and tuning can help prevent this issue.
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
