Default couple more questions, and pics

Ok, I got my exhaust modded and made a few runs today. Just wanted a few opinions on the spark plug, it looks ok to me but I'm a diesel guy so??? I also finally got a pic of my cart.
Also it runs great but when I first hit the throttle it backfires once or twice then takes off,

Plug looks good. Backfiring can often be caused by bad airbox seal, check the rubber seal where the top of the airbox meets the bottom part, and all the rubber "hooks" on the outside need to be present.

No airbox, just a K&N filter on carb, (sorry I should have gave that little titbit earlier)

Ok, just forget I was even talking, I found the problem, The carb wasn't closing all the way causing it to pop.

Yep, number one cause of backfiring i have seen....incorrect carb and cable adjustments. They even come from the factory that way to this day. Guess i assumed it was already adjusted. That is a exhaust backfire, not a intake backfire. BIG bang from exhaust pipe, not pop in intake.

Yea I talked to the guy I bought it from and it had done that since the day he got it. He just never bothered to look into it. It drives me nuts if something doesn't run right.
