Exactly what front clutch mods? How many rollers?
Skirt broke off the piston? Bad rod bearing?
Was the crankshaft out of this machine before? Stroked?
DOME washer on correctly and nut impacted on?

Backfire:
Loose spark plug cap? Motor not grounding (run a exrta wire from the frame to the motor)?
Was the timing adjusted? Stator come loose and spin?
Connections/plug in loose under the hood?

The more I ponder on it, a bad lower rod brg is suspect to me. That'll mess with your timing and throw a mean vibration onto the crank.
