Popping means too lean, fuel levels are probably low.

If they did not use the clear tube method to check the fuel level and then synch the carbs properly with the engine running both the fuel level and the carb synch may be off. As Bountyhunter said, setting the floats dry is not accurate, neither is "bench synching" the carbs. BTW, what do you mean by a "carb shop"? Ed

You should still adjust your floats with the clear tube, but your floats being adjusted incorrectly does not govern how much fuel goes into the chamber at any given moment. It will either overflow out the carb, or choke the engine of fuel on heavy throttle. It doesn't govern constant mixture.
I am totally open to discussion if anyone disagrees with my logic.
