Default Remote mounted walbro

Hey guys, I woke up this morning with an interesting idea.

I have an MVVS 26, (front mounted walbro, front induction engine), but the walbro ends up being very close to the prop, which can make cowling different. I did have a thought of running a a tube from the crankcase intake to the the carb which may be mounted facing aft on the cold side of the engine.

I know that in 4-stroke cirlces intake runner length has an effect on torques and airflows.

How about 2 strokes? Is intake runner length an issue? We tune exhausts, so why not intake lengths?

Am I totally nuts?
