This is called "running on" or dieseling and has nothing to do with carb sync. You need to check to see if the idle cutoff jets are working. Valves should be adjusted every 3000 mi. Valves that need adjustment do not make noise, they just do not close all the way. Not adjusting your valves regularly is a sure way to destroy your engine.
