Why does a 305 backfire through carb?

A 305 engine may backfire through the carburetor due to a few common issues, such as incorrect ignition timing, which can cause the air-fuel mixture to ignite at the wrong moment. Additionally, a vacuum leak can lead to an improper air-fuel mixture, resulting in backfiring. Other potential causes include a clogged fuel filter or a malfunctioning carburetor float, which can disrupt fuel delivery. Proper diagnosis and adjustments are essential to resolve these issues.
