Backfire in the exhaust is from an exhaust leak letting oxygen get sucked into the exhaust pipe when you let off the throttle. The oxygen then mixes with the unburned fuel mixture and will pop. The fix is seal up the exhaust system.

If it is backfiring through the carburator, never mind my response
