Checked the carb/s. Jets might need a good clean and tune. Fuel to air mix needs adjusting. Fuel filters should tell the story if your fuel is particularly dirty.
Last time I experienced loss of power and backfiring a good clean worked for me. Just another thing you might want to check.

Fuel mix might still need proper adjusting. Backfiring is a clear sign of bad mix. Give it a go.
Are you sure it is backfiring and not a burnt exhaust valve ? Can you run a leak down test ?
yeah the mixture has been set on the emissions at my mates garage like i say it was running fine before i went to santa pod at weekend apart from the flat spot but when i got down there the engine just didnt want to know and not sure about the exhaust dude not that up on it yet this is my learning curve so u can imagine how stressed i am lol
When you set mixture on emisson thats only at idle,sounds like its running to lean on load ,common fault withh 009 cos it advances the ign quicker,do a compression check .sounds like its been over heated and its likley to have burnt a valve and/or started to melt a piston.but then it could just be set up wrong :msn4:
