This is the present set up for my engine. I have a backfire issue at idle and low throtle. Any suggestions from the guys that use webbers on what to do to minimize popping? I have to re-dyno due to dyno improperly set on last tune up.

Rick, What does raising the idle jet size do to minimize popping. If the popping is caused by excess fuel entering sidepipes and igniting, wont that put more fule into the pipes??????

You said it was backfiring, I understood that to mean back through the carbs? If this is at idle and part throttle up to about 2000 Rpm it's indicative of a lean condition in the idle circuit. If the side pipes are popping then its fat. The emulsion tubes work during light accleration and part throttle cruise.

Thanks again for everyone's input. I went to the forum and read all the weber posts. I am using Champion 3025 plugs and have carbon fouling . Would you change to a hotter plug at this time, and if so, what plug would you recommend.
I changed my idle jets from 55 to 60. My idle mixture screw was one half turn out and I went to one full turn out. I also turned my puel presure regulator down from 4 to 3.
Test drove car, Excessive backfiring through pipes on deceleration, far more than anyone would enjoy driving the car about every 5 seconds when you back off the throtle. I checked for leaks in headers but all bolts were tight and no signs of black marks around headers. Still some sneezing during acceleration. Bright side is I have more torque and during acceleration car feels strong. It is still that backfiring in exhaust pipes!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking my S&W 45 would put some fine venturis in the darn thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered the LM-1 Air /Fuel Ratio Meter. Not as though I know a rats a-- about that either!
Someone should go into business tuning webers. May save guys like me more money to fly them to the car than waist time and money fiddle farting with something I know little about. I'm just a parts changer and that is expensive.
Thank's
Jim

I feel your pain, as I've been there and done that. My fix for my webers was to take them off install a Tunnel Wedge and sold the weber set up for one hell of a loss. Will be in the NW for a couple of days and then I'm heading to Alaska for a few weeks. I did bring my car back to the NW. Will be back in the area mid July so hope to get in some rides.

I would love to take you up on that offer, but with my luck I might not be able to find 'your' problem & you would make me walk home!

In a close examination I found carbon coming from inside the four header pipes where they enter the collector on both sides. I will have to weld up all four pipes together up the sides to stop the leak. May be what is causing popping.
Fred, Nice to hear from you. Cant wait to see your car again.
JayMac, You mean a heck of a swim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
