The engine HAD to have backfired if it started the rag on fire at the carburetor intake!!!!

A spark plug spark is way up in the top of the cylinder. There's no way that little spark could have directly ignited the rag through all those twists and turns in the intake.

I think the biggest problem here is differences in perception. A little gas to one person may be a teaspoon, and a little gas to someone else may be a quart... That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. What's your definition of "backfire?" Which cylinder are you using as #1?

An engine needs fuel, air, and fire, at the correct time to run. Sounds like you're still not timed right.
