These are the conditions that cause an engine to backfire:
- Ignition timing off
- Spark plugs of wrong heat range
- Excessively rich or lean mixture
- Overheating engine
- Carbon in engine
- Valves hot or sticking
- Cracked distributor cap
A condition that causes a backfire at the muffler is usually a rich mixture of fuel from high float level.
