Backfiring

Took the bug for another spin today, the longest one sofar.
She handles pretty good with the Konis up front (thanks Alex).

However, whenever I get to a stoplight, she dies. If I start her up again she idles fine though.
Also, when I get off the throttle the engine backfires a lot, does this mean it's running too rich ? Could this also be the reason the engine dies when I stop ?

Any info is welcome,

Thanks,

Rob.
