Backfire...

Hello all,

Quick question, I have a 2005 balanced TC 88, why is it that sometimes when I start it up, it will backfire with one loud pop as soon as it fires off, doesn,t backfire anymore after that, and it doesn,t backfire at the start all the time, just once in a while....any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

I rewired mine so i can start it with the lights off, then turn switch one more click to turn lights on. Helped out the starting a bit. Also get a top quality battery.
