Dearest Listserve, Today I took Phillip out on the freeway for a brief moment. Upon letting off the gas quickly in fourth gear/60ish to exit, the motor "faltered" and POW! backfired. Scary loud. At the bottom of the exit, after shifting into neutral it died. I restarted it again while still rolling (popped clutch with starter on). It drove normaly after this. I tuned the car recently, so I popped open the lid to see what was amiss and found the right-hand carb spring had fallen off. Does this sound like the culprit? I don't want to explode the heads off of my motor. What exactly causes the gunshot loud noise I heard? Is the explosion taking place in the muffler area? Sincerely, Peter Parker '66 Square; Phillip Portland, OR USA
