Mazda B2000 Backfires through Carb?

So, I'm working in this 86 Mazda B2000. Has 671,000 miles on it. Original engine and clutch I'm told. Anyway, it sounds like it is backfiring through the Carb. No flames, but a rather steady POP POP POP about every second and a half or so. Wondering if anyone might be able to offer me some help.

    did you tune it up lately if so check the firing order, make sure the plug wires are correct, if you messed with the distributor make sure its on the right way and if you changed the rotor button in the distributor make sure its the right way. i did it on my s10 and i but the rotor button wrong i had to turn it 180 to correct the back firing issue

    If u r sure it is coming from the carburetor, it is a faulty intake valve.
