cant help with snorkle question but, remove the airbox lid and see how it runs

valve lash should be stamped on frame sticker or somewhere on bike.

Check the color of the spark plug to see if its running lean. Ive yet to rejet anything but i hear you have to go up one size at a time and ride it to see if you have the right size. Also check for an exhaust leak that could be causing your backfire.
