Dripple dripple and more dripple
You know the guy that stated on this site that a rich mixture burns faster than a lean one
You might want to read up a little on the ignition process within the cylinder, and on flame front speed at various mixture strengths, and why the speed varies with mixture. Starting on the lean side, speed of the flame front increases with a richening mixture, reaches a peak at best power, and decreases as the mixture is further enriched. Of course at extreme lean and extreme rich there is no flame front, ergo no speed.
If I can't get that right what else is I failing in.
Corrected it for you.

I guess we can look forward to more dripple dripple and more dripple.
