Thanks for the reply, David. It's coming from the exhaust so it may be normal as you say. When I first got the bus it did the same thing but stopped after I had the valves worked on. Every since the long trip from Tx to Denver and back it's been doing it again. I'm not too worried about it but I thought it might be related to the starting problems I'm having. i.e. Not enough air when starting and not enough air to burn all the fuel while it's running. ds At 16:29 3/21/2003 -0500, David Brodbeck wrote: >On Fri, 21 Mar 2003, Dylan Spurgin wrote: > > > That helped a lot and it runs pretty smoothly now > > excepting some backfiring when decelerating while in gear. > >When you say 'backfiring when decelerating', is it backfiring through the >intake, or the exhaust?
