Could be a wiped cam lobe on the intake side. Hope not though. But ive heard just what you describe in a way. A sorta popping sound from the carb when you rev it to a higher point. It turned out to be a wiped intake lobe on the cam. You could pull the valve covers and start the engine and look to see if one of the rockers is moving up and down much less than the others. If not then readjust the valves when yur in there.
