RE: what makes a motor backfire?
Maybe there is a leak. Probably where the muffler meats the engine.
either:
get a spray bottle with some soapy water, spray the exhaust, start it up and look for bubbles
or take a close look for some carbon stains.....black soot that has no business being on the outside of your pipe.
either way, squirt some RTV (any auto parts store) on the leak, problem solved.
and while you are at it, change your plug / clean the air filter
