Ok. First proper trip out today. Nipping around the Gower I was getting the odd backfire when easing off on pedal. Nothing major. Also first thing in morning I got 60 out of it and later in the day 50. Not that I cut around screwing the engine.

Slightly embarrassing as I tried to reverse in the Bracelet bay car park I couldn't find the gear and had to push the van out of the parking slot :oops: found it later.


I have a bog standard 1600 twin port engine using a 34 Pict carb. Electronic dizzy so no points etc
 
Check exhaust system for any leaks.
Check idle mixture is not set too lean.

If those two things are 100% then you need to start looking for air leaks on the intake.
