Motor is popping back through the carb... Help!

I know you said the marks are aligned, but this would be my first guess.

The other distinct possibility is that you might have a couple of the plug wires mixed up.

Popping through the exhaust happens when the plug fires when the exhaust valve is open so something is definately wrong there.


Timing marks were dead on and I checked this twice. The first time when I installed cam and the second time when i pulled engine apart to change oil pump and shaft and check for anything on the engine affecting oil pressure. Timing marks are dead on.
