The "burbling" sound you report is typical of raw gas going through the engine
and igniting in the exhaust system. I'm not familiar with the injector system,
so I really can't help with troubleshooting. With a carbureted engine, you
could easily check this by leaning on the ground.

Hi, George,

Thanks again for your help. I'm going to ask my AME to check the fuel

You can do what you want, but I suspect that your mechanic (A&P: Airframe and
Powerplant) would know more about the fuel injection system than your physician
(AME: Aviation Medical Examiner). :-)

He'll be a Canadian. An AME here is an Aircraft Maintenance
Engineer, roughly equivalent to an A&P-IA.

Ah so. Apologies Chuck.
