Backfire when choking

When I choke the bike, I get a backfire for about 20 seconds coming out of both pipes. As it is choking, you can tell more and more cyls are firing up. I have yet to adjust the idle pilot screws, they are all just 2 turns out. Could this be causing it. I also get some backfire when decelerating in gear. Whats up?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you're too lean or have an air leak. Have you cleaned carbs, new o-rings, etc....

cleaned carbs, new o-rings, valve check and shim adjustment, air box sealed with new (to me) air filter cage. Thanks.

Did you make sure the port where the brass float jet sits was clear?

my pilot screws need to be on 3.1/2 turns out to avoid popping on decel

Wow, I turned them out a bit, but not that far. I'll keep backing them out...

3.1/2 turns out on the pilot miture screws is actually a factory spec

Where you get that from?
