Back fire

backfiring is usually broken/cracked reeds or your flywheel woodruff key has broken and allowed the flywheel to rotate out of "timing"

also make sure your pipe to flange, flange to cylinder, and pipe to silencer fitting are tight, sealed and leak free

and how can you go about making sure your pipe/silencer connections are sealed and leak free? Leak tested engine already and good to go, but I have a interment small backfire.
