Hi:
Is the back fire through the carb or exhaust? Also, if you are able to get the timing to the mfgs recommendations, there should be no need to remove it. Finally, most backfireing is cause from a vacuum leak allowing too much air to the engine. Make sure everything is tight and there are no leaks.
