yeh its just a build up of unburnt gas in your exhaust. at least thats what my mechanic told me. you could try taking it ti an lpg mechanic to have the gas system tuned . also do you run a snorkle if so this could also be causing the problem if so try disconnecting the snorkle rubber duct from your air box and take it for a run if it fixes problem then you will need to have a balance pipe put on your gas system to allow for the extra air flow from the snorkle.did the same thing on mine hope this helps muds

Backfire out the exhaust or up the air cleaner.....exhaust is plugs, or leads, and air cleaner is lean mixture...fix it b4 it blows your motor or worse, the efi aswell...
