Airbox backfire.

Post by mart3442 »

My VTR will backfire into the airbox occasionally, first time it did that, I s##t myself, thinking something had blown in the engine!
I balanced the carbs which were quite a way out of synch, hoping that this would be the end of it. Engine is running very nicely but the backfire remains, anyone have any solutions?
Cheers.

set the TPS to 500, someone will be along with a link, clean filter and new plugs if they are old, increase tickover to 1200. all the above help but it WILL still do it.
