Post purge setting

How long should the burner post purge be set for?
We recently installed an MPO147 boiler vented into a chimney. The installation, operation and service instructions have boiler sequence of operations printed on page 32 but may need updating. The sequence states that there will be a pre purge for 10 sec. And a post purge for the last 10-sec. The primary control shipped with the burner has a fixed pre set 15-sec. Pre purge. The post purge is adjustable 30 sec., 2 min., 4 min., or 8 min. and came set at 2 min. Should the post purge be set to 30 sec?
FYI - The stack temp is running 350 400deg. Also couldnt install the 2nd pass flue baffles because the over fire pressure became positive. Draft at breaching is .04 and almost .01 over fire without the baffles.
Would a CO2 reading taken after the post purge is complete be sufficient to tell if a 30-sec. post purge is long enough, if reading is at or near 0?
