I even saw spark infused flame shoot up from the carb. What would cause that? Also, any tips besides a clean work area and patience when rebuilding a carb for the first time ever? Thanks!
Backfire like that is most likely due to a lean mixture, maybe due to improper adjustment or a tired old carb in need of a rebuild lol!
