Default Need help please

hello all i'm new to this site. I've got a question, I've got a poppin or a backfire comming out of the carb. I took it to a local shop and had the carb rejetted and tuned but the problem is still there. It happens when i get out of the throttle and then back on again. Is the tune not right or something else wrong. I also run 92 octane gas
