Why does my engine pop when I decelerate?

This fresh air makes the exhaust hotter (think of letting a fire have more oxygen) which aids in the combustion of the unburnt fuel. To REDUCE (it may not totally go away) popping on deceleration first make sure that you do not have any intake or exhaust leaks.

Why does the rear cylinder keep popping out?

Once warmed up to normal op temp, from idle to about 1/2 throttle very rough with constant backfires, and occasional blue flame out of rear cylinder only, also feels as though its starving, will start out but then suddenly nose dive like its out of fuel, then catch back up then dive again.
