my 200x has been backfiring for quite some time...and finally it has driven me nuts....so i was wondering what all could cause it to be backfiring??? if its the jet in the carb....would i have to get a bigger or smaller one? im thinking bigger but im not sure.

let it idle and watch and see if smoke is coimg out of it anywhere. Check the connection into the head and everything.
