2 Cycle Setup on a Pipe

[Dean Pappas]

Reasonable question!
The box width, or 5 seconds, or 50,000 miles: whichever comes first.
Did it not richen at all, or just not enough to burble?
I take it that you got out and flew during the last hour.

Ok, how long is a long shallow dive at full throttle.
10 seconds, 30, ......

I did this w/ my 26.5" setup for about 5-10 seconds
and no burble.
