Decel pop, bad!

Blackie had been in storage and as some of you know i did quite abit to get blackie back to tip top. Well blackie after getting back together was doing great, but she was raising cain decel popping, even for me it was rough. So i thought id try a new tune, gotta be bad tune. Spoke to @Idaho Red Rocket 3 to ask about a tune, and wanted to ask about this decel pop, most times contrary to my belief that decel is unburnt fuel when it hits exhaust pipes coming out, well we kinda agreed but he said could be loose exhaust, well i was agassed, dont Bill know im the mechanic, it could not be loose header bolts, no way. well it was. After test riding blackie for first couple times i did not retighten header nuts like i should of, they loose after tightening the first time exhaust gets put back on. Anyway wanted to remind people to check exhaust first when having decel pop, even the very best mechanics may forget a step or arnt around to tighten after being off and put back on. Yeah, i laughed at myself too. Thanks Bill for saving Blackie, i was fixing to do a complete tear down
