Has it got the frame to exhaust pipe clamps?

to whoever wrote this (i've lost track):
"cookie I always thought exhaust if it pops letting off the throttle and intake air leak if it popped getting on the throtle? B."
an air leak at the exhaust manifold will pop on the over run. an air
leak
on
the intake will just make it run weak in my experience.
now if anyone knows how to stop an eldo getting a loose joint at the head/downpipe i'd like to know. got a friends bike doing this all the
time.
NOT the nut coming loose (it's the locknut type), it just eats the
gasket
after a few miles, air gets in, backfires like crazy. i put new gaskets
in
&
it's fine for a while, then same thing.
it started happening when new mufflers were fitted with rear balance
pipe
removed. i think it may be to do with the pipes moving & flattening off
the
gaskets. however the exhaust assy doesn't appear to be moving any more
than
stock.
i must have put 6 sets of ex gaskets in that bike & i'm getting fed up
now.

I heard a little while ago that the popping could be from looseness at
the
head/exhaust header joint, or somewhere close to that. Check to make
sure
the exhaust is tight up there, and/or has no leaks.
I am working on a 74 Eldo I just picked up with Amal Carbs. When I
let
off the throttle and am gearing down it pops through the mufflers. I have played with the air screws and it
has
gotten better, but it is still
there. I have checked the carb intake gaskets and they are fine.
Someone
told me this is a common problem with running amals on a Guzzi. Any ideas
