Plugs, points and leads will cause this as well as a bad tune of gas.
If its running too lean it will backfire though the carby
for a gas vehicle with points i recommend converting them to pointless ignition systems like a crane cam. simple, easy and they are optical sensor driven, no hall affect crap that i don't like

what do you think about a
PERTRONIX IGNITOR KIT
this kit works off the six flat lobes on the shaft.

Typically they run lean at high load low rpm, I change the secondary converter spring and retune to rectify it. Also electronic ignition on top of whats been mentioned, quality plugs, leads, cap, rotor.
The Petronix is OK as a points replacement but you can only run a points coil or one with high primary resistance, a HEI coil will burn it out due to the higher current draw. I fit an ICE module and coil raising the output from a potential 30 kV to 65 kV with over twice the burn time. The result is a noticable increase in power and low down torque with improved economy as well.

changed plugs and it was fixed 1 plug was not the best looking very strange considering i only changed them about 2000kms ago must have been a dud

If all threads that showed "the problem as solved" were deleted then we'd have little to search back through......
