Possible that a bit of crud got into a jet? Would reduce flow of fuel resulting in lean mixture?

Hi John, You might have loosened a chunk of carbon in the combustion chamber and it hung a valve partially open for a bit. My old Gravely "T" head tractors do this ocassionally when used hard after "putt-around" work. Cheers,

74 Eldorado, 35k, stock as far as I know but I've had the bike only a few months and 3k miles. I got engaged in a little duel from the lights and hear 2 massive backfires as I change up into 4th gear, scared the shite out of me, (and the 2 clowns in the Mazda who look as they think I'm now shooting at them!). As I roll to a halt at the next light I hear
this wierd noise coming from the samer side as the backfire, the bike feels as if it's OK (though I'm nursing the throttle now) the noise is sort of soft, (like a buch of marbles rolling around in a bucket), obviously not good but it's not scary enough to shut the bike down immediately, a short while later I hear/feel a loudish "bang" and the bike is back to normal again. A case of Heineken for the best explanation??????
