What do you mean by "under compression" ??? Backfiring with most any carb setup normally means lean....

If the engine's been running OK previously and has only just now started playing up, I'd be thinking maybe a blocked jet - something that's pretty common with Weber IDF's actually. If the carbs or throttle linkage have been apart, well I'd suspect they haven't been setup and tuned properly after being put back together.

If you're planning on doing stuff yourself, as a good starting point take a read through http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/jetting.htm and http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/dualcarb.htm.

Backfiring on run on can be caused by either a leak in the exhaust and/or a leak in the intake manifold.

If, when the engine is idling, you very carefully (keep fire in mind) spray the intake system from the carby to the heads with something like Start Ya Bastard and it revs up a bit, you've found the intake leak.

An exhaust leak can be found by putting a suitable hose to an ear and moving the other end around the exhaust system.

If you find either one of those leaks, you may have found your problem.
