Default "Tiny bubbles in my fuel lines"

I have a ST2300 on a Goldberg Sukhoi. I have put on a Perry carb #5001. I have 5/32 fuel line, large clunk, the whole nine yards. When I point it up I see bubbles in the fuel line to the carb. Do I have a hole? or is there some other problem like not enough tank pressure? I have a Bisson Pitts muffler with one stack blocked off. 15% Byron fuel. MA 16x8 @ 8300 rpm.

You definitely have a hole (leak) somewhere. As RCISMYLIFE states, start replacing fuel lines until the leak is solved.

No... they didn't! Darn your hide! It took me 3 weeks to get that song out of my head the last time it was mentioned.

For those of you who now need a Don Ho fix, or for those of you too young to understand the reference... here's exactly what you need:

No reason I should be the only one in misery.
