[QUOTE="KAI, post: 55767, member: 580"] thanks ben2go for the quick response! it very well could be unburnt residual fuel in it, a dirty carb, and old spark plugs! could it also be old fuel mix? because the fuel mix i have is pretty old like over 7 months to a year old. how long can you keep the mixed fuel for? how long should i run it for? i think i ran it for like 10-20 mins. im going to run it again tomorrow to get all the old unburnt residual fuel to see if the backfire stops. does it hurt to run it too long? whats the longest should it be ran? so, everytime i run it i should disconnect the fuel line and let it burn the left over fuel in there? to answer your question: no, there has not been any work done to it at all. also it has been stored in my garage the whole time. thanks again [/QUOTE]
