Well, if it was a choice between running well but really loud, or running bad and sounding quieter but bad, I would choose running well but loud :> So maybe if you can tell us a little more, someone may be able to help. So what state is it in now, does it backfire when idling, or pulling a load, or when it is hot, or when it is cold, or when you open the throttle, or when you shut it down while it is hot, which screw on the carb did Mark have you turn, in or out, etc.?

There isn't anything on the carb. that would make the engine sound louder except for the throttle. Of course if you increase the throttle ot will be louder. As for the backfiring, if it's too lean it will backfire but should do so mostly when you throttle down. If it's much more lean than this it won't run right and you should see this in poor acceleration and other loading problems. If the backfiring is somewhat constant then I'd look at other things such as a bad plug or some other ignition issue. The other possibilities could be heavy carbon buildup inside the combustion chamber or if the engine has sat for a long time a sticking vavle. I have also seen a loose exhaust valve seat cause this but that would be worst case. Mike, you might also try to use a few different words to describe what the syptoms are.

Nice video, but I couldn't pick out the backfire, but my kids wanted me to turn it down becaus eit was annoying them... The governor was doing some hunting with the throttle?
