Hey guys,
Fairly n00b question. Today I was pulling out of my neighborhood under light throttle in 1st. At about 3krpm while still on throttle the exhaust let out a backfire that sounded like a whip crack and a huge cloud of black smoke. I've had this happen before and thought nothing of it. I could not feel anything in the driveline. I have the normal explosive backfire now and then letting off after a hard run, but not usually like this and now I'm just curious. Is this just from excess fuel sitting in the exhaust pipes?
