Tubs,
Great answer. I ran my PO15 yesterday on a boat for the first time and can really relate to this. Sure could use another hand. I was thinking at the time how glad I was to have two good hands.
As for the SpeediTwin issue it does sound like is running lean.

You have missed the point of running these things.
It’s not brain surgery but they require some skill,
knowledge, and experience. As you have learned
not just anybody can run one. It’s no different than
a cell phone. If you’re not interested in learning how
to use it you never will. All that is required is to use
one hand to steer, one hand to adjust the carburetor,
and one hand to adjust the timing. Simple!!! Learning
new things has its rewards. When it backfires like that
its usually indicates that its lean (too much air not
enough fuel) for some reason.
