I would check everything that won't cost me money, like all the tuneup settings first.
Are the carbs sync'd and air/pilot screws set right? This can give you a stumble when you open the throttle from idle.
Are you sure the carbs are clean? Did you get all the jets and other small openings clean and clear? An idle jet might still be dirty, or even a low float level...but then you say it runs fine otherwise, but has an occasional pop here and there...mmm...are your plugs fouling?
Check the voltage at the coils, you need 12 volts.
Those are places I'd start looking, then move on to check the valve clearances.
