Default First pan (1960 flh hydro glide)

I have a lot of questions but lets start here. The seller did not do the full service and I'm starting from scratch. When I back off the throttle she backfires and misses at low rpm. I'm hoping it's carb adjustment as I am currently riding her from el paso to southern Idaho. Any thoughts?
