retard your timing till it stops pinging, though it sounds like it might be a more serious problem, mabe carbon buildup causing detonation if its just doing it by its self at the factory timing.
if changing the timing doesnt work put a bottle of that Wynns carbon deposit/buildup cleaner/ remover treatment (cant remember the name) in the fuel. that might help.
If that dont work try running a higher octane fuel, like 98 and or a octane booster if your that concerned about the life of the motor. Also if your carbie is looking old and shitty prob wouldnt hurt to have that looked at as it may be a fuel delivery problem.
