Back firing kubota lpg

I have a hyster h80ft with the kubota lpg engine and it has an intermittent back fire issue.
Well maintained by another tech. New spark plugs and valve adjust completed. Seafoam engine clean completed. It is better than it was but it still back fires once in a while hard enough to blow apart the air cleaner.
It is operated in a very dusty environment. Any one have any ideas?

I have had this issue with a 2016 h60ft with 2.5 kubota ,the issue was the wiring harness going to the EPR had rubbed and had bare wires causing overfueling, and it would randomly backfire and blow apart the inner air filter, repaired the wiring harness and that fixed the issue, Also replaced the engine isolators since that was the cause of the wiring harness failure ,wich seems to be common with 4 cyl kubotas since they vibrate so much , the engine mounts should be replaced sooner then say a 4.3v6

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
