i believe that pic is of the old style carb and the new style carb does not have the silver end to it. correct me if i'm wrong

Hi all
I run a Go .21 3 port sport engine and I'm lost on glow plugs for it.

I've read here use an OS #8, but that's a short plug.
from Amainhobbies.com "Note that O.S. engine plugs are SHORT body plugs and should only be used in engines that require a short body plug. O.S. plugs should not be used in Novarossi, RB Concept and most other motors manufactured in Europe.
"
On Amainhobbies.com it says this for a #5 Go plug
"This is one Go Technology #5 Medium glow plug for engines that accept long shaft plugs (basically any engine except OS engines)"

Which one of the following should be okay to run as I'm on my last Go #5 plug.
McCoy #8
Novarossi "Standard" #6 Ultra Glow Plug
O'Donnell sport medium (purple) standard

By the way I finished 3rd in our Sportsman Buggy class this past weekend. This engine is tough to tune and ever changing even after 1 gal. I guess with alt at 3400ft above sea level.
My low speed needle is set at almost 3/4 turn out from flush. :lol:
I finally found my flame out issue. The high speed needle o-ring looked fine and no signs of an air leak from the needles, but since I looked at every possibility I changed it anyways and poof flame issue gone.

Thanks.

yes they are the same pipe just rebranded for 2 different companies

Tech Tip for the Go Engine Pro Range ( or any engine for that matter )

if you find the HSN weird to tune do the following

un screw the HSN all the way out and remove

hold slide closed

detach pressure tube from the pipe and blow in like you were priming

careful not to look directly at HSN brass coupler or you will get fuel in your eye.

you will notice some gunk come out .

make sure HSN needle is clean and replace

Re tune HSN to normal setting .

This is called flushing . Over time you can get dirt and gunk in your HSN which makes your engine go rich and then lean for no apparent reason.

Cheers MM

Good to know!

Why are the go tech engines back ordeed on a main hobbies???

They are backordered everywhere. I tried ordering some and were backordered. Racefactor has them all on order and should be in soon.

Guys,

Just spoke with Russell, he apologies for the inconveniences of all this back order time, but he says that its due to moving the racefactorindustries warehouse to a larger facility, so all delayed re-stocking moves of stores will be worked out very soon ...

cya !!

I have motors and some Vp tires in stock.

This last weekend we were ath the X Games in Minnesota, my sons Go's ran flawless. He finished 3rd in pro buggy and 4th in pro truggy. Ryan Lutz dominated both classes, my son was running second in buggy and crashed on the last lap and Brent Thielke got by for second. He was running a Go gen 5, 5 port with a 0801 pipe, 8mm restrictor.

So no-one knows which plug I should be using (Short, Standard, Long) as Amain is out of stock on the #5 Go Plug.

Thanks for the tip Massive, but I had already cleaned the carb fully.

when im not running turbo plugs i run the OS A3 plug

The Go motors take the short Os style plug. A longer plug with 2 washers works fine also.

I do have some Go #6's if you need some.

Thanks for the replies.
Why would Amainhobbies.com say the Go #5 would be for engines requiring a long shaft plug. :rolleyes:
Glad I didn't buy any long plugs then. I'll try an A3 or an A8.
