backfire after carb rebuild
 
I rebuilt my carb recently and now I have a backfire through the exhaust when I mash and release the throttle.

It runs and idles smooth. I adjusted the mixture needles by leaning them out until the idle dropped, then I richened it by 1/4 turn. I did not adjust the timing during my carb rebuild.

Any ideas on what could be the cause?

Are you sure you didn't play with the spark plug wires? It sounds like a crossed wire to me.
