Thanks for the tips, I just replaced the bowl gasket so hopefully it's not that. I rebuilt the carb last year and ran it off the starter fuel tank and she ran ok. I'm wondering if maybe that sitting over the past year as after I got it running I just left it be as I didn't have the spare capital to invest in the tires it needed. I'm going to take the carb off again and give it another cleaning and see what happens. I toyed with the carb settings a little more today and it seems to have smoothed out some. I did pour some seafoam additive into the gas and crank case per the manufacturer recommendations just in cast it was a stuck valve. The can of Seafoam also says that it's a good fuel system cleaner and conditioner. Being that this engine is the age it is, I figured it wouldn't hurt.
Another thought here, could the fuel cause the backfire? I'm using 87 octane without any lead substitute. I have a 46 Farmall H, and I usually run lead substitute when I have it and it seems to make that tractor run much better.
