Backfiring out of the carbs?  Is it not firing at all - or just running very rough?  Not sure how you would get ignition happening in the carbs, but I'm kind of new here.

Have you checked all of the basic stuff?  Spark (pull the plugs - make sure they spark), compression (do a compression test), gas (are the plugs wet when you pull them after trying to start it)?
