mine did the same thing I almost positive it was the fuel cut solenoid on the carb that and the choke had been messed I found a used one at the Upull for 20$ it solved my problems but now I have other minor ones I am trying to figure out.

it was a vac leak.
i un hooked the hose that goes to a valve that controls this 3/4in hose that has vac that goes to the air cleaner and it stopped backfiring and running as rich so im assuming there is a vac leak somewhere and this is a temp fix till i find it. any ideas?

grab a can of wd-40 or similar and spray in short bursts on the hoses when the engine is running. the engine speed should fluctuate when you spray near a leak.

still running a bit rich and it is missing a bit too..
compression is within 15psi from each other with the low being 150 is that OK?
but i dont know where to go from here i know its running rich and i have checked all the vac lines.

you mentioned the diverter valve- it has the vac hose and 3/4 hose that goes to the filter... it's possible that it is malfunctioning or the vacuum switch that controls it is. air-pumps / air-injection systems are notorious for causing backfiring when they malfunction.
also, isn't there a dashpot on the carburetor that keeps the throttle from quickly slamming shut when you let off the throttle? I believe part of it's function was to prevent backfiring.

That could be true for mainland U.S.. I'm not sure about Toyotas but I know that here in Hawaii, Suzukis and Hondas came straight from Japan market. That may be true for Toyotas too. I know once I contacted Suzuki MotorCorp for a paint code for my bike and was referred to their offices in Japan.
I guess it's cheaper to ship from Japan than it is from mainland U.S.

if it is carb'd, find a diagram for a late 80's carb'd truck with the air pump. there is basically a diverter valve that either puts the air from the pump into the intake or exhaust depending on engine vacuum.
