The 5 and 7 port Go Techs have mega pinch when new. Check out the break in procedure on the bottom of page 78 on this forum. Follow this and you will be sweet. Those needle settings are spot on for break in. After 15 tanks or so you can start leaning the LSN toward 2.5 turns in from flush for normal running.

Will these settings work for a 08' 3 port race......I have yet to break mine in.

Never broken in a 3 Port, but settings won't be far off as the carb is the same. Not quite as much pinch on the 3 ports I'm told, so break in should be a little easier :cool:

How does this engine pipe combo go?
I have a 2027, I'm thinking about putting a .25 GO in my truggy.
Are you happy with it? What sort of run times are you getting?
Thanks

There is currently an ebay auction for a set of 4 got tech inserts for $14 (47 available) buy it now. Not sure if its ok to post a link, but the auction isnt hard to find. Has anyone tried these inserts or ordered from this seller?

I have them in stock too. I use a 7.5 on my 7-port and it is fine. They are very high quality and aluminum and not plastic like alot of others.

Hey guys, I have a question and sorry if its been asked before. Im also new to nitro stuff so bare with me :)

I recently installed a 3PT motor in my buggy, broke it in as followed. Installed a JP-2 pipe on it, byrons 30% gen 2, p3 plug. Motor runs around 210-230 with motor settings at a little lean on the bottom and a touch fat on the top. I also have the carb restrictor in that came with motor.

The problem im having is the motor seems to have no bottom end at all. I went from a 1.0 clutch spring to a 1.1 spring with no difference. I just cant seem to get any rip at all out of the bottom end. Mid range and top end are ok, just killing over bad on the bottom.

Do I have the wrong pipe on? Wrong plug? Ect? Any tips and info i can would be helpful!

What gearing are you running? You may want to drop a tooth or two on the clutch bell. That'd give you more bottom end...

Cool, thanks. I just placed an order. Hopefully shipping won't take 2-3 weeks like it would've from ebay.:)
