What causes a hiccup will riding a slower speeds?
It doesn't happen all the time, but once in a while I'll get a hiccup while riding slower speeds through the carburetor? Almost like a mini backfire.

Whichever jet that is supplying fuel at that throttle position is lean. You don't state which carb, but is probably the slow or intermediate jet. Or it needs a good cleanout.

Openening the mixture screw 1/4-1/2 turn should go away. Start with 1/4
