Banging, cracking on start up


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am having a problem on start up,  the engine starts, but bangs cracks pops in the exaust pipe,

When the engine warms this stops,  I recon on to much air getting in some were, then when warm expands and stops 

Or could it be blocked jefs  in the carb 

Running on webber's, and 123 unit 

What do you think 

Thanks pink

Had the same problem this weekend at a hill climb, I reset all of the timing, valve gaps and carbs hey presto everything ok. One thing I did notice was the overfuel unit at the back of the carbs one was leaking so as I don’t use them I blanked them off now at least I have no random fuel leaks or overfueling.
