I've discussed it with several greybeard Lyc fliers among the local EAA group
and they say it is "after-firing," as opposed to "back-firing."
After-firing is caused by a too-rich idle mixture, they say. On their
recommendation, I have started leaning while taxiing, and it has cured the
problem. I pull the mixture back until it starts running rough, then
enrichen by a 1/2 turn. Also seems to help with the mag check during
run-up (i.e. the plugs haven't gotten carboned up as much as with the richer
mixture).
Bob,
What Lee said!.
Geeeeze, I forgot to mention that I lean my IO 320 with the mixture
control just after the engine start settles down. The same is true once I
have left the runway after landing. At my home airport, where I
have years of taxi experience, the mixture pull is automatically done to a
certain distance from the panel accompanied with minor adjustments, if
necessary.
If that doesn't help, try the other things in my prior response.
