Would suspect in this case that a richer pilot circuit may reduce the "run on" tendency and exhaust popping on deceleration.
Remember that which way to turn the pilot screw is different, depending on the carb pilot circuit design (i.e., side-located air vs botton-located mixture.)
Good Fortune!

Bottom-located pilot screw -- turn out counter-clockwise to enrichen.
Side-located pilot screw -- turn in clockwise to enrichen.

Was this after letting the engine warm up to operating temperature? Ed
