I have recently

-adjusted the carbs,

-replaced the spark plugs/wires,

-replaced the points with electronic ignition,

-replaced any worn or bad fuel or vacuum hoses....

I still get backfires and it sounds like it's missing again.

So I thought maybe the firing order was backwards...

Correct me if I am wrong, but clockwise it should be: 3-5-1-4-2-6, right?

Please help me figure out what's wrong.

Thanks.

Here...check out this link/photo.

This is what mine looks like.

Does that look like the correct setup?

That is my photo. Rotor moves COUNTERCLOCKWISE. "IF" you have it like the photo shows, you are wired correctly on that end of the plug wires. Double check the other end of the wires, it's easy to get 2,3 or 3,4 or 4,5 mixed up.

(damn internet connection crashed)

I editted my last post since you posted. Double check both ends of the wires.

If the engine WAS NOT running this way before you worked on it, it's likely that something isn't adjusted right, and doubtful that you would need a new engine.

What kind of electronic ignition did you install? Did you adjust the timing after installing the new ignition?
