Title: Spyder "popping" on lift-off Post by: droptop on August 27, 2012, 09:07:32 PM Brought the spyder for a "spirited" drive yesterday with the top down as it was actually DRY in my normally moist little country.
Anyway, when lifting off the pedal at something around the 5-6k rev mark and coasting in gear back into my lane, I heard a series of pops from the tailpipe telling me there's a little back breathing going on. Is this normal at higher revs or is my timing out? No issues starting or running, fuel consumption is good and acceleration is very satisfactory. I have a series one 2.0 with a single Weber 34 DATR and K&N pancake filter. Spark is courtesy of points and condenser. My fuelling is a little lean due to not wanting to start re-jetting the carb as I'm in the process of sorting a set of twins for it. Am I at risk of damaging anything short term? I've covered approx. 1500 miles since fitting the filter.
