Well, I'm sure sure what the references to "popcorn" mean but perhaps it's an inside joke?
I have some things to consider to solve the pops on decel issue (I think).  It seems the consensus is "too lean" but still not exactly sure how to resolve that but will "check the Pilot mixture screw position compared to book value".  Thanks Two Tired and to all for your responses.

Getting popcorn is an internet colloquialism for preparing to sit down and watch the fun, i.e. debate.
In other words, everyone here chimes in that popping is caused by a lean condition and then Lucky jumps in to say otherwise this is almost guaranteed to start a perhaps lengthy back-n-forth between members.

Yes, check the pilot screws but also pull the slow jets and make sure they're clean too.

CycleRanger I was going to ask you why But I did not want to upset phil ;D I guess I have to believe you. No wait I have to believe lucky. Darn it I don't know who to believe :(

I never knew I was going to get such good entertainment value (in addition to great info) on this site!

The popcorn reference is just the crows on the fence laughing at everyone.

Bolling, I am not sure what you're getting at.. but without a bunch of sophisticated thermal imaging equipment and dyno pulls, It would be very hard to arrive at why a lean condition causes popping on deceleration by 'seeing for yourself'.
 But to disagree with physics is not so much a 'belief'.

TT is the man when it comes to this stuff. He has patiently been answering my PM's the last couple weeks and continues to provide me with top notch help. In other words, he explains answers in a way "I", a person who needs kid instructions can follow and be successful.
