[Healeys] Another backfiring question

[Leonard Berkowitz]

Hi all

Just finished repairing and reinstalling the carburetors on my BJ7. I thought I had everything adjusted properly. According to my Haynes Manuel the engine speed should increase slightly when you lift the piston a very small amount. Mine does that.  My dwell angle is where it needs to be and the car starts and idles nicely. Also sounds beautiful when I punch the accelerator linkages. The problem is that when I get it up to 60-70 mph I get what sounds like backfiring into my carburetors. Also sounds like it doesn’t have a whole lot left in the tank, so to speak. Does that sound like I am running too rich or too lean?
