Backfiring problem
I took my 1999 XL1200C on a fifteen mile ride , after stopping for fuel it started to backfire with white oily smoke coming from the aircleaner and rear exhaust on deceleration . It got me home backfiring all the way though now it will not start just spins on the starter . Ive pulled the plugs which are black wet and oily , Ive run a compression test and both cylinders are showing 100 psi compression . i have removed and cleaned out the carb and changed the plugs . It will only fire up now if i spray carb cleaner into the carb while holding the starter button .This results in violent backfiring and the oily white smoke before the engine dies again . Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I have to solve the problem myself as I do not have the finances to take it to a shop .
