Need more information.<br /><br />1. How old is the motor, and is it 2 or 4 stroke?<br /><br />2. If you've owned it for a while, did this problem just start suddenly or is it something that has gotten progressively worse over time?<br /><br />3. Has the motor overheated recently? <br /><br />4. Do you know when the carburetor was last rebuilt?<br /><br />5. Do you know what the compression readings are on the cylinders?<br /><br />Without knowing more, it's hard to tell. Please post back with more details when you can.

There are only three things that will cause a backfire on this engine.<br /><br />1) Broken flywheel key<br />2) Spun crank<br />3) Bad trigger coil
