Good news, I just checked horizon and the engines are due in on the 19th of this month.

I heard that too, does that mean into horizon or into local hobby shops??

Unknown, I work part time at my lhs to support my addiction.
Horizon's dealer site says 3/19. It was 3/20 and when the dates were updated most stuff got pushed back to 4/9, engines went to 3/19.
I will know on the 19th if my engine shows up or not. Either way I will post
an update if the date changes.

hey, we got something first in Europe

Ran mine last weekend for the first time. Great motor and pipe (pipes soft though).

TQ and the A main win so i can only say i'm impressed. Tuning was easy and it runs nice, very smooth from the bottom to top

Did you buy the promo kit? If so which pipe did it come with the 2053 or the 3009?

Sweet, i ordered mine from the apex models in the UK, hopefully it will be here anytime now. What plugs are you using in it? I take it ninja, boss, falcon, grp plugs are all the same.

I'm still on the original which is looking great after breakin and a meeting. I've ordered a set of 5 Ninja No.6 Turbos which should be with me tomorrow.

I've also been running the new Byrons 30% Gen2 fuel (no re-shimming of the head needed) which is working out great too.

I'm no longer running the GRP Ninja motors so if anyone is looking for a sweet deal on Ninja (GRP) plugs, I have a 5-pack of the #5 plugs. Email me if interested at tony@tony1034.com

Best regards,

Im trying to idle a tank through mine and it if i take the glow warmer off it just flames out

It came with a #6 plug, ive tried a #7 same thing and a #5 which seemed a little better but still wont keep idling unless i have the warmer on. Too rich maybe? Im running 25% and havnt installed any of the 2 extra head shims it came with.

ezveedub · 03-20-2008, 10:55 PM

Sounds like its too rich. Thats why when you ran the the #5 it seemed better. The hotter plug will stay light with a richer mixture.

The GRP Ninja's came from the factory pig rich. Lean the LSN 1/2 turn in.

Best regards,

FrankBlack · 03-21-2008, 12:23 AM

Yep you guys are right, it took a full turn on the lsn and everything was fine
