Xcuse me
I really do not know everything. But always happy to help and even better even, to talk and talk and talk bikes :-).
Your sneezing ... get to a doctor, fast! This might be the superflu!
I'd recommend to ignore it, there are other things that are far easier to diagnose and to correct.
Following the track of lean running; the combustion is too slow, so when the inlet valves open combustion is still going on, which backfires (softly at idle) into the carb. -> Solve the lean running and the sneeze goes away.

:-) da boss-man has arrived
That was my first line of thinking, but the only instance I have seen of this the carbs tended to blow off as a result. And it weren't no sneeze. More like an bloody big pop. But if it is the head end, not much else it can be.

Yep, pop back thru the carby means lean or bad timing, but it sure sounds lean. Those carb blocks/spacers could induce that if they are letting in air, which will in turn mess up the rest of the idle circuit. That and the idle mixure setting shopuld be checked.

As per your workshop manual - you've got one?
Align all the relevant marks on the camshaft and the flywheel with the camchain in correct tension and it should be set OK.
