Leaking fuel lift pump diaphram??

Are you getting an excessive amount of oil/gas in your engine pan from
the air baffle?

If so, the gas line may be leaking and it might be one of those
situational things. A friend of mine has the same FICHT I have and
had a really interesting problem in which the fuel line had a teeny
little split and it dumped fuel into the baffle which caused the
engine to do much the same as your describing.

The only other thing I can think of based on my limited experience
with FICHT engine repairs (~~ snicker ~~) is that the pump itself may
be hiccupping for one reason or another.

Sorry - can't do better than that.
