did ya clean out ya petrol tank, change filters etc... may have put dirt back thru ya new carb...also sometimes as the fuel pump gets old, it can gum up the carby with bits from its diaphragm, so an extra filter betwwen pump and carby is wise....but yes you need to check fer other causes, too...a small hole in the exhaust, leaky exhaust/inlet gaskets maybe? may be time for a pro tune up, as others have suggested, good luck with it all, christover

Don't confuse an unwanted backfire with those "Keybangers" of yours :D
