My carb farts when i shut off the engine

It makes like a "poof" of air sound when i shut the car off, i have the bonez intake lid so it is easier to hear but i was just told that that sound means it is running rich????? God bless (sorry for all the posts lately but i cant find my answers in the search function)

Its definitly the nikki, my exhaust can do it a teeny bit if screw around with the throttle in and out quick at low rpm, its no loud pop or anything though.
