Ok after a lot of playing about with the engine i still cant seem to find the cause to my backfiring. The symptoms are, when cold i.e just started on the pull away and subsiquent gear changes the engine cracks and pops. Once warm the only backfiring is between gear changes but arent as loud as they are when cold. When it comes to the end of my journey and after switching off the engine it will backfire once again the loudness of this is dependant on how warm the engine has become on the journey.
Engine:
1914cc twin dual webber 44IDF's Electronic ign Engle 110 camThings i have tried:
Valve clearances Carb synchronisation mixture
One theory i have is that it is running too rich and not burning all the fuel, the unburnt fuel then sits in a sharp bend in the exhaust and the heat from the exhaust ignites it. Dont know what else to do.The mixture setting does seem to play a big part in what happens but as yet i havent been able to get it right. Any help would be great!
