If he drops the "in" end of the pump into some fuel with a known good hose to connect it, and it still produces bubbles, then he knows that they are coming from the pump and not anything upstream, like the tank. If someone else can do the same test with another pump and provide the results, he will know if his pump is causing the problem. I believe that the pump is not the problem. I have never know bubbles to cause a surge in RPM. When that happened to me I had to adjust the switch on the AFM.
