i know of backfire through the exhuast, but not the carburettor, what can cuase this.
Improper secondary spring adjustment ,accelerator pump mis -adjusted or leaking are a few things that come to mind as well as the egr valve defective or could have just been a while since you opened her up and she coughed on the first try .....
