Hey everyone,

After starting up the ole 93 xj after the long winter I have got a few problems. The worst being that when I start the bike from a cold engine it has an slight backfire that worsens when you accelerate. The backfire is coming from the right exhaust, I already tried changing the plugs and it didn't do a thing. When I'm accelerating the backfire is worst at low and mid rpm and seems to go away at high rpm. Any thoughts?

Second problem

When I decelerate the throttle the idle hovers around 2500-3000 for a few seconds before dropping down to a normal idle

Any input would be great
