I haven't heard it backfire since I fixed the intake manifold gasket over a year ago. It really runs well and has a lot of power. When it backfires, it makes kind of a thunking noise out of the precleaner doesn't it? Also, I had just adjusted the valves a few months ago; that wouldn't cause this, would it? I looked at the outside of the draft tube and it too is covered in oil mist. Also, this tractor has never turned backwards so I don't think that is it. I notice whenever I go from full throttle in road gear and slow the gas lever all the way down to idle in preparation for a corner, it pops out the exhaust repeatedly until it reaches idle. Is this normal? Could this be part of the problem? I don't think it is compression, as it starts with two cranks of the handcrank, but I suppose if just one cylinder had bad compression, it could still start well. If any of the above info gives you any other ideas, let me know. Otherwise, it looks like I am going to be starting with the breather. I imagine it didn't get cleaned much in the past 30 years.
