Maybe a tiny air leak???
Also on another thread I saw where the adding a fuel filter helps with any foaming of the fuel.
Sure it wasn't foam?
Because foam and bubbles would go to the top of the tank and your drawing from the bottom.
Next time don't shake the plane.
Before you start it choke the carb with your finger and turn the prop by hand.
It should suck fuel up the feed line with no bubbles.
If you see any then perhaps you may have a tiny air leak where the line draws from the tank.
Just giving my 2 cents on what I just did here.
PS: What brand fuel??
It is Omega 10%. And it could have been foam rather than bubbles. The engine seems to be running fine, so I'm not going to worry about it at present. I'll show my instructor next week, if this snow here in NJ ever finally melts away!
