As he didn't bring a plug in his backpack, he ended with a dnf in his first race on the REAL ENDURO bike. After replacing the plug, it fired right up again. But that was in the paddok after the race, unfortunately.
Are you going to help him with his jetting?
The cold (thick) air should have made it run leaner, so it must be jetted very rich at the throttle setting that he was using the most.
