Any chance the fuel pump is sucking air past its
shaft seal when it is running? This could be a symptom of worn pump
bearings or seal.
A simple test would be to remove the cowl and disconnect the fuel line
from the engine and put it into a clean bucket (extend the hose as
needed). Have an assistant and fire extinguisher handy. Turn on the
fuel pump and, after the flow is established submerge the end of the
hose to check for bubbles.
While you are at it, time the flow to verify sufficient GPMs.
You should also verify that the fuel pump vent line is connected to the
outside vent. Having cabin pressure at this port would make the problem
worse. With the setup above and the pump running, blow a little air
into the vent and see if that makes bubbles.
Perhaps not savvy or wise, but something to test.
