Took the coach out today getting it ready for the ES & MI rallies and after about a mile I got 3 pops which sounded like backfiring through the carb. Just 3 and then no more and the engine seemed to be running normally.

Any ideas? Should I cancel my plans?

Temporary lean condition or ignition hiccup. I'd look at both systems.

That is what I was thinking. Bob is not going to let you cancel.
