Ok it is jetting
sneezing out the top of the carb is LEAN
Backfiring out the exhaust is RICH
Go to
http://www.redlineweber.com/html/Tech/Table_of_contents.htm
and read Read "IDF Tuning" and "Addendun to Lean Best Idle"
Also go to
http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles.htm
and read the jetting and sychronising stories.
It all depends where it is popping and farting.
Idle - 2000 idle jets
2000 - 3500 main
3500+ airs
need the right E tubes and vents as well
Tell us what you have to start.
IF you dont know look in the Redline site and you will find an expoled picture that will tell you where everything is.
It might be a simple mixture / air bypass / idle screw adjust
What are they 36's, 40's, 44's?
36's not have air bypasses
Also make sure there are no air leaks in the manifolds. That will cause a lean pop as well.
I learned a bad coil will cause this. I went through hell trying to jet my suckers. Turned out my jetting was right - my coil was dying under the heavier load and breaking down.
Start with new points, plugs coil etc etc and go from there.
It is expensive to give it too some one. It will take a few hours and a few jets to get it right.
