Sorry I cannot help just not qualified to comment on this sort of problem. My Palmer qualifications are more around 1910 than 2010. I am sure there are folks on the page who can give you advice. |

There are many possible reasons for your "backfire". Ignition crossfire under load and/or sticking valve (usually exhaust), broken or weak valve spring come to mind. Both are common, but no means the only culprit. David |

You should be able to find ignition parts as those engines were used many places. If you have the number off the distributor i could look some. |
