,That I knew, dad is a chevy mechanic for 35 years, but not a scooter mechanic, besides, he retires in 3 & half years. I'll re-do fuel/air mixture, & idle. I want it as lean as possible. But I'll wait until I get the parts on first. Either way I needed the muffler.

Also I couldn't order an acv valve. Are they the fuel diaphragm, because that is all it comes up as under a parts search.

Ok, I could see the exhaust leaking, the most exhaust noise still comes from below my feet, if course it's same place my backfiring is coming from. I really do need a new muffler, it was on it's last leg right after I got this scooter. I think the exhaust is traveling the path of least resistance, I think the muffler is stopped up, so it's trying to leave through the exhaust manifold.

I agree, I remember there bring the the hose that attaches to acv, so I have one, I'll try everything, muffler too. Cdi was bad, it don't die now. Runs more constistantly. But still backfires. As for muffler, it's got a problem & I'm replacing it. I set both valves a month ago or so to .006.

I messed with air fuel mixture, so that could be the problem, also I think maybe I didn't have the right valve settings, so I re-do that, & if that doesn't do it, I'll order a new muffler, cuz isn't so muffled, still quite loud

OK, so the problems I have explained are all caused by acv?, nothing else. I haven't replaced the cdi should I still do that? Or is it the needle & diaphragm
