Great looking bike and great frame.
The backfiring from the carbs is probably from clogged
up idle jets from sitting around. Main jet is usually ok The hole is very large.
The gas gets gummy and dried up.
Remove the idle jets first clean them till you can see
daylight through them. DO NOT use a paper clip!!
You can use a #10 steel guitar string and carb cleaner compressed air.
Write down what size the jet is
