You are probably right, that Subaru sound is very 3cyl.

 

Carbs or injectors? The fastest way is time on a dyno as you can measure the electronics one by one under load, check plugs firing, coil, & injectors etc. All it needs is a plug or lead breaking down under load.

 

Start with compression tests, then a "plug cut" check after running it hard in 3rd for 3 or 4 seconds. Check plug lead resistance with a multimeter, but none of these are as good as reading the motor directly under load. Borrow a Megasquirt!
