When does it backfire, letting off the gas, or just sitting there running? You seem to have some issues with your carb.

You are running lean. What do you have for mods? Did you ever get it to stop reving?

Does the motor, filter, exhaust have any mods? With the reving did you check the intake boot to see if the carb was seated in the boot properly?

Jetting should be around 155-160. If the carb is clean I'm not sure I can help on the reving.
