Hi..

AB Case.
I did not find a vacuum leak.
And,
Ignition timing BTDC 7.5" adjustment.
Valve gap adjustment(0.15mm)
Crankcase Rebuilt(cam and crankshaft timing mark Confirm.)
The following items were exchanged.
1. carb(34pict-3,EMPI)
2. Distributor(043, SVDA, Point gap 0.4mm)(kuhltek)
3. Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter.
4. Intake boots and Head Intake gasket(EMPI).
5. Cylinder Heads(EMPI)
6. Spark plugs, wire set, Ignition Coil.(BOSCH).

I’m not seeing any mention of looking for exhaust leaks? That’s probably where I’d look next. I learned to put a piece of hose to my ear and start poking around near all the joints. |

Had a similar problem. Replaced all exhaust gaskets and heat riser gaskets- problem solved. Good luck. _________________ Thanx, DLT

Thank You..
I did not think the exhaust leaked.
Why do you think, exhaust leaked are related to backfire?
I sincerely look forward to your reply.
I got hope from your reply.
In the winter when backfire started, I changed the exhaust.
The exhaust that was fitted before the change was a product made in the aftermarket.
Very loud...,and, The heat riser was "off".
So, I changed the stock style exhaust.. and all gasket.
I'm going to go out now and see if there's a exhaust leak exhaust.
But the exhaust sound did not sound strange.
Do you backfire even with very small leakages?
I want to know why exhaust leaks and backfire are related.
Can you tell me?
I will wait for your reply.
Thank you..^^You gave me hope.... |

Your answer, Thank you very much.
Do you think the exhaust leak ?
Thanks to everyone's answer, I'll check the exhaust leak once again.
But I want to know.
Why is exhaust leak and backfire related?
But my engine's exhaust sound was not strange.
If it is a leak, is it a very small leak?
Thank you..^^ |

Hi..
I checked the soot around the exhaust every joint..
and The sound of the exhaust is felt without any abnormality.
I looked around the exhaust joint with my eyes. and I only heard the exhaust sound.
and
I exchanged all of the exhaust gasket(s) yesterday.
Is there a good way to find a little exhaust leak?
Tomorrow I am going to look for exhaust leaks using soap bubbles in idle state.
Tomorrow ... I pray to solve the problem ... ^^
I think a small leak is the cause of backfiring.
I have already checked the engine timing, vacuum leakage and so on ....
Thank You.. |

It is almost impossible to check visually and through hearing since it is so loud.
Using a spray bottle with water and a little soap looking for bubbles is the way to go. Find yourself a small shop vacuum that has a blower mode and switch it to that. Place the nozzle into the exhaust tip with a rag and hold it there and spray the joints with your soap solution. If it bubbles then you found your leak. |

Your engine sounds weak when you rev it. Try setting your timing to 28-30° BTDC @ 3500+ rpms and see what effect that has. |
