"I've been following some of the posts on here concerning backfiring through the carbs and also knocking noises in the 350 crusader engines. I've tried several of the suggestions found here but to no avail. Curious though, I'm beginning to think that what I am hearing is not a backfire at all. I say this because I started the engine with the flame arrestor off and brought the RPM's up to where I heard the noise I thought was a backfire. I held my hand above the carb and could feel or see nothing that would be described as backfire. If a valve were sticking or something to that effect could that be mistaken for a backfire?"
