So It looks like I have a buyer for my project bike I fixed up last Summer. I got it out today to show it to him and put the trickle charger on it. I started it up before he got there to run it through it's paces and I kept getting a very loud POP from the left side exhaust. Dam near sounded like a gun going off, and it happened a few times. After running it and taking it around the block it seemed to stop doing it. Then when I parked it I noticed smoke coming from around the exhaust flange, so I guess the new gasket I put in isn't doing it's job and is leaking. Would that along cause such a loud backfire or do you think because it sat for 2 months maybe the carb is the issue?
Also it has Jardine pipes on it (both exit on right) and it never did this before after I got it running again. I'm hoping it will just go away.
