I am having real trouble with my IO-360 engine burbling and making all sorts of testosterone exhaust type noise as I throttle back. I have to make this verrrrry slowly to keep it from making all kinds of noise. What should I be looking for and how do I fix it?
I have been advised that this could be air in the exhaust, so I borrowed a smoke generating exhaust leak detection tool. There is quite a bit if leakage between the short stack and the main crossover pipes. How do I stop this? Should I have the pipes welded or can I tape them up somehow, at least for a test. Welds seem to be a bad idea but may be the answer. Opinions? Thoughts? Help!!!
Are there other places I should also be looking for the source of the problem?
I am having a hard time sneaking the plane in and out of the airport without people calling the fire and police about the airplane that is inevitably gonna crash with engine failure.
