Backfiring can be caused by fouled spark plugs (you have four,two per cylinder), bad spark plug caps, bad air cut valves on the side of the carburetors, but most likely leaking exhaust gaskets. I am guessing that you have changed the exhaust system but did not put new crush o-rings between the cylinder head and the head pipe. You should also change the tubular gasket/seals between the head pipes and the mufflers. If this does not fix the problem , take out the two screws that hold the air cut diaphragms in place and remove the covers . If the rubber diaphragms have holes in them or have become sticky they need to be replaced. Air cut diaphragms turn off the fuel during deceleration to prevent back firing. If they go bad they can cause poor running , popping , and back firing during normal operation.

    Everything you are saying makes sense. However, I've searched the internet and I'm trying to find where you can purchase the parts you are describing above. Any help would be a ton of help.

Why is the engine firing up through air intake

Sounds like your timing is out..or the valve slap needs adjusted..When this happens the inake valve is partly open during the firing stoke allowing some of the exaust to go back through the intake..and out the carb..good good luck
