Are all the linkages still on the carb? Maybe one shook loose? I had this happen on a big twin and it gave me fits until I found it on a previously good running motor.
Another item on a big twin was a cracked cam all the way through where it sat over the pin on the crank. Looked fine on the motor but would open up when turning on engine and through off timing.
In both cases mine would run very poorly or at least pop but perhaps worth a look
