I meant to bet a better video today, but didn't get to. I'll try for a sequel tomorrow. My friend called and is available early tomorrow morning to look at the carb, so I'll be doing that first.
Yes on the backfire.

I don't think you need another video clip. Your additional explanation makes it crystal clear.

I STRONGLY suggest that you should NOT mess with the carb because it is obvious now that the carb is NOT the problem. Check that side-stand switch. IIRC, it is fairly easy to by-pass it for a test.
