They will backfire if the ignition cuts off before the carb is completely closed. This happens alot when people try adjusting the governor or throttle cable.

mine backfires when the valves need ajusting

There is a small idle adjustment screw on the side of the carb that if screwed in will hold the carb (butterfly) or throttle plate open and cause backfires.
Back the screw out until the throttle plate closes all of the way.
Also make sure the cable is not holding it open.
