Then what's better than 15% is 30% too much?

I don't think it will respond to the 30% like a Saito would.

The OS 160 is a wonderful engine but one thing that makes it so is the smaller carb and reasonable timing.

I would be inclined to use 10% fuel and listen carefully for detonation if using anything greater than 15%

If you need more power go to a Moki/Mark 210

You can add a head shim and prevent the detonation. You still probably won't see much more power.

Not unless the engine is set up for it. More is not always better.
