It doesn't sound that bad, the fuel/ air mixture is probably a little rich now the temperature is rising and that is would cause the lift of pop.

Ah thanks for that I think it makes it sound nicer, but I was worried that it was bad.

I also like the sound of a slight rich running engine. However keep checking your spark plugs to make sure they aren't sutting up. Remember light brown is the perfect colour for a spark plug, otherwise you may end up with a misfire if the plugs are too sutty

The spark plugs are brown with a layer of dirt on them is that bad? Because when it doesn't start if I clean the plugs it starts

Sorry for the late reply. Brown/Tan is good as long as its light. Any thing darker would suggest carbon build up.

I would lean out the mixture a little. Maybe get a colourtune kit. It definitely helped me get my fueling right.
