I'm having trouble finding parts for the gas .28 here:
http://www.go-engine.com/pdt_view.asp?sn=271&area=18&cat=42#


Are parts available at all? Specifically the connecting rod is my main concern.

I have two of these things and they are just fantastic.

I just want them to last as long as possible, and a rod will be needed eventually. Thanks for any help.

Hi timjs,
As you can see in my signature, we are serious GO Engine fanbois.
We have a great guy here in Oz that has plenty of GO, JS and Arrow engines and suitable spares too. PM me for contact details and I'm sure he will be able to supply you with what you need.

Which GXII model do you have?

timjs

Hi,
After I made that post, Bellgate got in contact and I ordered two piston/sleeve/rod sets.
At this time I dont need parts for them.
However I will ask you (if you don't mind of course) if your supplier carries parts for Trackstar .28 engines, (sold by Hobbyking).
I don't need parts for it yet, but seeing as how it is a Go engine as well I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask for future reference.

Dumb question but how do I rotate the carb on this new engine so it is straight?

Is it that screw pictured or is that a crankcase screw?

Loosen the screw shown a couple turns. Tap the screw so it shoves the wedge on the other side out. Rotate the carb clockwise and it should loosen.

Guys I destroyed the threading of the crankshaft in my gx5r.. I wanted to remove the clutch and I destroyed the screw threads of the crankshaft.. As I cannot find a new crankshaft, what are my options?any glue or any extender?

Palebushman

Hi Konstantinos, you don't say where you are located on our planet, but I can put you in touch with a great guy here in Australia that will be able to provide you with a new GO Engine or, the crankshaft if that is all you need.

Hi Palebushman!
unfortunately i live in Greece!( so Australia is on another planet!!! :-))
i was thinking a solution like a threading tool or a cut-and-replace solution..
to be honest i am looking for the novarossi elite 5 as a replacement..

Been out of this hobby for a good few years! I don't suppose anyone has a decent Go 5 port Gen 5 for sale (silver head) loved that motor. Seen a few gx5r's on ebay may have to go for one of those.

Yeah, those old silver heads where kick butt engines, but i'm thinking they are long gone. Amain hobbies is having a blowout price on 2 of the Alphas engines.
The Dragon ll for 138.99 and the lutz worlds for 179.99 .They are about the same as the Go engines and maybe a little better made.

zonda

Can you believe I sold mine with only a gallon of fuel it! I'll check out the Alphas.

Hi, guys. I just bought a Trackstar .28 and, for what I understood, it is a Go based engine. If this is right, can someone please confirm if this is running with a turbo plug? I tried to search within the thread, but there are over one thousand pages in here and I didn't find anything conclusive. Thanks

timjs

Yes, it is a Go engine. As for the glow plug, check my response in the other thread you bumped.
