yes, backfiring is always due to ignition or timing problems.
Backfiring through the carb can be a symptom of a lean condition.

Why is your 92 F150 5.0 backfiring through carburetor?
A backfire is caused by many different things. Using the wrong grade fuel will cause a backfire, as the engine's compression ratio is usually too high and will detonate the Air/Fuel mixture, causing a backfire. It can also be caused by advanced or retarded timing. Advanced timing will cause a backfire through the intake, as the spark occurs too early and ignites the Air/Fuel mixture before the intake valve is closed. Retarded timing causes a backfire through the exhaust as the spark occurs after the exhaust valve has opened. Your problem seems to be advanced timing. A backfire is caused by many different things.

What is the difference between advanced and retarded timing?
Advanced timing is when the spark plug fires AFTER Top Dead Center, retarded timing is when it fires BEFORE TDC.
Intake backfire and surging on your 1989 Calais?
Jumped time timing off.
Why do neon's backfire?
If any car backfires it is usually due to retarded timing, running lean or a problem in the valve train.
What are the benefits of running advanced timing or retarded timing?
You will get pinging if you advance it and you will loose gas mileage and power if you slow it.
How does incorrectly set timing affect fuel consumption?
A stretched timing chain on a DOHC engine will cause a retarded intake camshaft timing and a slightly retarded or normal exhaust camshaft timing. The intake cam will take most of the stretch, leaving the exhaust cam mostly normal. The results of a retarded intake camshaft will be improved fuel economy due to less air-fuel drawn in during the intake stroke. Also, IF the exhaust camshaft is retarded from excessive timing chain stretch the result will be a lower NOX emissions due to exhaust gas being drawn in during the intake stroke, lowering the overall combustion chamber temperature.
Why does your new 350 engine backfire through the carburetor?
There are several reasons, the plug wires are crossed, the timing is retarded, and the valves are not properly adjusted.
What would cause your 97 Honda Accord to turn over and backfire?
Engine timing is VERY retarded. My first guess: the distributor clamp has loosened.
S10 blazer popping?
what year? popping like a backfire through the intake? check the timing if it has a distributor.
What does vtec stand for?
Variable Timing Electronic Control. Meaning the timing is advanced/retarded electronically by the computer when needed ie. you stomp on the gas pedal and the timing changes to compensate.
Will a bad timing chain make the engine backfire?
Incorrect Timing Can Cause Backfire.
Why would your 302 engine backfire through the intake?
If it is running at the time it back fires your timing is off about 22 degrees. if it happnes when you are trying to start it then you timing is off 180 degrees.... Your intake valve is open when the spark plug fires.
