In years past if I had this problem, opening the gas valve would help some. In this case it didn't seem to help. The lower plate is the original type with the wire. If I let up on the gas pedal it did seem to help to some degree. I have the stand pipe filter in the shut off & the tank was almost full of gas so it shouldn't have been something plugging the gas flow. I did not make any adjustments to the carb during the time it was back firing. It was back firing all the way home but sometimes the pause was longer. We might get 5 miles before it would do it again.
