Damn! I'd like to thank everyone for providing us all with excellent reading, trolls included.

I have a question relating to the fuel enrichment on the J2B, in the piper manual it calls for a maximum normal operating power (can't remember exact acronym) of something like 40" MAP 2400RPM (for climbs etc). This is still quite a lot of power % and would require very rich mixture, however by pulling the throttles back to 40' do we loose the fuel enrichment function? Would it be better to leave everything on the stops?

I'm aware of how the Continental enrichment set up works but didn't know the fuel metering in the J2B had a similar function (I take it most Lycomings do not)
