OS 160 setup question

[Karl G. Mueller]

Rich,

In the past two years running this engine I never had it backfire.
You must be running it fairly lean to start with. This is where a
hopper tank helps. It will not give you any change in fuel delivery
from a full main tank to an empty one, not until you run the hopper
tank dry as well.
What type of setup are you using ?
