When it pops out the carb is it a flame or an air noise pssst? These "pops" are differant and caused buy differant things.

I suspect it's an air pssttt, this is weirdly enough usually cause buy it being too lean.

The next question has to be when does it happen? Usually this will happen during a throttle transition to accelerate. If so most likely then it would be the accelerator pump is not working properly or enough. With the engine off look down the carb and pump the throttle, you should see a squirt of fuel.

Hope this helps, good luck.
