Alright i got a 04 400ex i took the lid off my airbox and put in a 42 pilot and 152 main. started going through plugs because it was runnin rich so i put a slip on w/b e-series pipe. ran great for like 3 days now it backfires while trying to start and when its at idle. when i punch the throttle it backfires while going. not real sure what to do. i have the idle screw turned out about as far as it goes, because i took out the choke. maybe i need a bigger pilot jet but i thought for sure 42 would be big enough. i live in wisconsin and the weather right now is like 60degrees so its not cold out. thanks for the help

turn the fuel screw 2.5 turns out from lightly seated and try that.
