Sounds like you could be a little rich on the low end. Any burble should clear up by 1/3 throttle if the carb is properly adjusted. Are you running the engine with the "factory" needle settings?

Sounds like you need to vent the diaphram on the carb into the fuse.

Here is a good thread that will explain how to do it. It is more prone to happen on round cowls with all of the open air up front.
