Carb maybe running lean, try giving the GAV another 1/4 turn CCW, then another 1/4 turn CCW. I find that my Gav has to be set at 1/2 turn open, otherwise I get a little popping/cough when decelerating and when upshifting gears.

Possible intake manifold leak. With fan belt off and motor running spay wd40 around the intake manifold and listen for a change in motor running. Not sure from your description above, when changing manifolds supposed to have then surfaced as a pair, also the copper manifold gaskets are recommended. Also try WD40 with motor running around the Carb/Intake manifold seal and listen for motor running change.

Some use a propane torch (unlit) instead of WD40.
