I say your running rich.

when you backfire it means that all the gas isn't getting burned in the cylinder. Then all the leftover gas is creating a second explosion in your exhaust system.

you can either down jet your carb a little or you could try using a hotter spark plug. the hotter spark plug will sometimes give a more efficient burn.

The wires themselves are protected by the rubber insulation - the connections are what you need to watch. If it is a plastic harness, some di-electric grease will do wonders. For twisted connections, use some heat shrink tubing

we have our main house in Lygourio, but also have a smaller appartment in Nafplio... My wifes family is all from Lygourio, they own land all around and even on the Epidavros theater property. the water rentention from the ancient theater is on their farm. it is really cool. I think we are heading back in May
