Title: Backfiring problem on 1985 Virago XV700
HI,

I have a 1985 Viarago XV700cc. When I bought it it wasn’t running so I had the carbs leaned and synchronized, and the rubber manifolds changed. Now it runs on and off: It runs smoothly then suddenly it starts backfiring from everywhere and lose power completely. It take me some time to start it again then it runs OK, until it does it again.

Any idea what I should look for?

Thanks a lot

Michel
