Loss of power going up hills

Found the problem. Head gasket had gone. Whilst the head was off I got it skimmed. I then de-coked it, lapped the valves. Cleaned, put it together. Finished it last night, started on the button, runs sweet as a nut !!!!!! Also found its a later 5 bearing crank engine.
 
I had no compression on 2 and 3. When I took the head off I found the gasket was broke between 2 and 3, hence no compression.

Took it for a 100 mile drive around Exmoor today. Was running really well, apart from when I coast down a hill in gear it backfires but when I put the throttle on, it stops! any clues?
 
I turned the dizzy clockwise a bit and the backfiring was even worse. Went deaf after a jolly round the block, will retard it a bit. Really need a strobe to get it working like a Swiss watch.
