I would contact White Brothers and ask them for their recommended starting point.

i think you need to go up a pilot jet and try 2 turns out on the air/fuel screw. is it popping while trying to start or in the upper rpm range? did you lower your needle one clip to richen the mid range up? if you need a pilot jet let me know and i can order you one.

need beter info. where does it pop, does it pop at wide open, or is it popping and sputtering at low rpms? is the throttle response bad? high idle? low idle? could be the needle or the pilot jet, don't just asume the main jet is your problem, the main jet is for one thing, wide open throttle fuel. the needle adjust how much of the mainjet you are using throughout the midrange, and the pilot jet is low throttle to idle range. moving the needle clip up makes the midrange leaner, moving it down makes it richer. popping normally means lean. hope that helps a little bit.
