It Ain't Running Right!
If your rpms are high and you take foot off gas to coast, the pistons are sucking hardest but the throttle plate is closed. This causes a huge vacuum in the manifold that sucks fuel from the idle enrichment circuit. If your idle is set to rich then too much fuel will be drawn through and it will build up in the exhaust and ignite making the popping sound.

Measurements for stock SU jet needles?
Jet nozzle size (diameter of the drilled hole) is a tuning parameter. You can buy nozzles with different sizes. The fat SMmay work better in a larger nozzle than in a 0.100" standard nozzle .

NGK BP6ES spark plug burn color OK?
Glad to help. I am now in Fiji.... one day I will be back in Panama!

NGK BP6ES spark plug burn color OK?
Be sure to balance air after each adjustment using unisyn or flow gauge. The engine should be able to run on 3 cylinders when fuel and air is balanced. Repeat the test at 3000rpm then balance air then adjust fuel so that the rpms drop the same amount when you finger a carb.

NGK BP6ES spark plug burn color OK?
You can have different turns on the jets due to mechanical differences, wear and user error. Getting all plugs to the same colour is a good goal. Also lifting the piston in the back carb with your finger and idling on the front 3 cylinders then doing the same and running on the rear 3 cylinders is a good balance check. We call it the equally shitty test.

Out with the new, in with the old...
The idle adjustment is really just a practice run at the procedure as well as getting your idle speed set and fuel in the ball park. The only things you can adjust on our carbs are: 1. Airflow at idle (butterfly stops) 2. Airflow balance at idle (butterfly stop difference between front and back) 3. Airflow balance off-idle (screw in connecting linkage) 4. Fuel flow at idle and off idle (jet height) 5. Fuel flow balance at idle and off idle (jet height difference between front and back) 6. Fuel flow transitions (damper oil) 7. Needle height vs rpm (spring pressure and weight of piston) 8. Fuel flow vs. needle height (needle taper)
