The Ford Barn

I recently reset my timing and adjusted the carb to get the idle right. I've been noticing a "pop" or two when I push in the clutch. It's not a backfire just a "pop". I think it may be coming from the carb but I've been driving with the top down so I can be sure. My engine is a low mililage rebuild and has a Simmons HC head and Zenith carb. I had to adjust the carb quite a bit to get the idle speed down. I've since turned the mixture up a bit but no change. I thought I'd ask here before going further. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
