mintalkin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 its just that poping is usually caused by unburnt fuel in the exhaust if the air filter was dirty it could of been !Removed! up the mixture its just the first thing to check before further investigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
