A popping at WFO means QUIT RUNNING IT WFO until you have exhausted most everything he said, or you the carb won't be the only thing you are rebuilding.
Pretty long list of possibilities.guess we'll start at the top of the list and work our way down....thanks GT!!
Jetted lean, low fuel volume/pressure, sucked intake gasket/base gasket, garbage in the carburetor, low float level, poor tank ventilation, plugged pick up tube, kinked fuel line, bad fuel pump, fuel line air leak, carburetor too large and not set up correctly.

Sounds like a lean condition to me.
Simple carb adjustment or does it need to be gone thru?
I was looking at this one but was wondering if I could step up a little bit to the xm278h.....
Her is a pic of my cam card and a video of what it sounds like. I bought the matching springs with the cam. I also have 049 heads. I am very pleased with the performance of my boat. The torque through the powerband is outstanding. Sounds bitchin' too.

my motor skills aren't that refined
Motor full of fine metal shavings.... Pull it down and measure everything... JMHO.. Also check the front thrust surface of the block behind where the cam sprocket rides.

...not sure how to pull it down and measure or check the front thrust surface.....
Do you know how nasty that cam is?no....is this not a good choice....
GT
no, I have Bassett headers....
Do you have logs?
That is a lot of cam for a cruiser...
GT
Your first post says "flattened my cam"....not screwing with you at all......I'll see if I can send a pic of cam
You screwing with me? You cannot knock a lobe off of a cam without passing quite a lot of metal throughout the engine. Simply cannot be done.
Not trying to stir the pot. Just hate seeing folks throw good money at bad.

Looks fairly reasonable to me...this is what I would need....I think...
