I had the same exact problem. Even had my carb "rebuilt" by someone who claimed they knew what they were doing. Cost me $100 bucks. My problem turned out to be crud in the carb due to ethenol gas which was not cleaned out properly by the rebuilder.

A friend in my club who knows what he is doing cleaned the carb casting properly and reassembled with all my old parts. Problem solved no more popping.

I learned a $100 lesson.
