Rob,
In my experience it sounds like you have unburnt fuel accumulating in the
exhaust system. It gets to a point where the exhaust temperature and the
mixture are right, and BOOM! Of course, the hotter the exhaust the worse
the problem sounds. It will have enough force to destroy a muffler
completely sometimes.
Sooooo....although you say a carb kit went in not too long ago, I have to
think there is something in the fuel metering system that ain't right.

Subject: [oletrucks] whats causing backfire(off subject vehical)
I know that this is an off subject vehical but im sure there are some pretty
damn good mechanics on the list that could help me out with this. I have a
1986 Ford Ranger that backfires throught the tailpipe. Its a manual and does
it when i let off on the gas to up or down shift. The warmer it is, the
louder it backfires, and if its a warm summer day, at a stoplight it will
pop
when it is idling. I put a carb kit in it and that hasnt solved it. I have
noticed an exhaust leak just after the muffler though. If i take care of the
leak would that stop it? What else could it be?
Any help is appreaciated
