What's sad is people that can't tune giving people advice.

furadi, like i said the engines run strong if you can get it tuned right. cheescake, myself and many others have had tuning issues with go techs, the 1st-4th gen go tech engines had terrible carbs, some were lucky and had no issues while others had nightmares trying to get the engine running properly, it was luck of the draw really. If they have their issues resolved that would be nice but as of now it still seems like its a luck of the draw type deal(just check the go thread and see how many people in the last week have tuning issues), i would advise anybody to wait until they get the issues ironed out before they bought one. Just acknowledge the fact that they have issues, that's undeniable(again read the go tech engine thread), if the op is asking for a good reliable easy to tune engine, the go tech engines should not be considered.

As I've said, the issues are resolved. I have the most recent batch without the long LSN. and the long LSN is what was causing the issues.

Its pretty obvious when the engine has the new etching and a short LSN.

Why would they ship out engines that are fixed and aren't?
