[AJD] What a day - Galloping idle - Backfires

[Bruce Mahr]

LeRoy: If it backfired through the carb., it would indicate a lean gas 
condition, due to such things as a restriction in the tank, sediment bowl, 
or fuel line, keeping it from getting a good volume of fuel. I'd check the 
fuel flow to the carb.
