how long till max power with picco?
i have run about 3/4 gallon of fuel through my picco 26 red dot and i am wondering when it should hit max power? I am still running it relatively rich as i want it to last! btw it has so much pinch still! It practically feels like new

Keep in mind that its a racing engine and not a sports engine so it has more pinch. About 1 to 2 gallons max for it to reach full power, it varies from engine to engine. At 3/4 gallon I would tune it for power and just have fun, it will open up when its good and ready. This is based on my exp with the BB .27 and .28, im guessing there should not be to much difference if any.

I agree, get it out where you can get some good rpm, lean the high speed needle an 1/12th at a time until you do not see a performance gain, back out that last 1/12th and drive it like you stole it. [8D] I have at least five of the little 26s, a great engine. Bud
