Is it backfiring (flames coming out of the air cleaner) or spitting (fuel
coming out of the air cleaner). Check the oil level in the dashpot. If it is
spitting you may be able to see some splattered oil on the bonnet directly
above the carb.

Subject: [Healeys] Another backfiring question
Hi all
Just finished repairing and reinstalling the carburetors on my BJ7. I
thought I had everything adjusted properly. According to my Haynes Manuel
the engine speed should increase slightly when you lift the piston a very
small amount. Mine does that. My dwell angle is where it needs to be and
the car starts and idles nicely. Also sounds beautiful when I punch the
accelerator linkages. The problem is that when I get it up to 60-70 mph I
get what sounds like backfiring into my carburetors. Also sounds like it
doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank, so to speak. Does that sound like
I am running too rich or too lean?
