Re: Carburetor 'Pops' at Low Idle, upon Starting

Yes. Its rare that the upper end of an engine isn't damaged severely when a timing belt breaks. The valves stop but the pistons don't. Its possible that no damage was done, but my guess (if you rule out the timing belt) is that some of the valves got smacked and don't seal anymore.
