sounds like a fuel problem, might be worth checking your fuel pump, get a container, take one hose off the carby and point it in the container
(icecream 4L shud do it) and get a helper to crank her over... you should see a decent amount of fuel coming out... if there is plenty then maybe a
blocked jet or something.
good luckl

backfiring is usually related to running too lean, supporting the lack of fuel pump action...
when i decelerate using engine braking my exhaust pops as the mixture leans out.

could also be ignition, does it have electronic or points, i had major bunnyhopping hickups in my bus, turned out the fuel pump was basically freeflow
from the tank, no pressure and the ignition had worn loose on its spindle so was poling out randomly. bad combination.
