I just got a 7 port in my D8 with a 053 mid range pipe from Dynamite
I have read a lot of posts that were talking about the carb settings
This is my first Go engine and the HSN and LSN are both flushed out
I tried leaning it in like an OS but no fuel was going in
I have noted that it just needs a few adjustments and looking at how the needles flush is not so helpfull
This engine has alot of pinch and is difficult to break in via heat cycle
I have a few tanks on it and it looks like it is a very good engine for my D8
Anyone have needles settings with the 053 mid range dynamite pipe
Looks like I will be happy with this motor just as long as I dont make it too lean
Thanks

Read back the last few pages and you will find all the info you need.
Needles come flush from the factory. Turn HSN in half a turn only. Turn LSN in 1.5 turns and break in as per instructions on page 78 of this thread.
Once you have 10 or so tanks on the motor, lean the LSN in as far as 2 - 2.5 turns but LEAVE THE HSN AT .5 TURNS IN. These Go motors do not tune like an ordinary motor due to a long LSN needle.
You will find if you lean the HSN more than .5 to .75 turns in most cases you will get lean bog. Run top end rich and the bottom on the lean side.
Motors are very tight so heat before turning over. Will stay tight for up to 3/4 of a gallon. Also needles are very sensitive. Only 1/16 of a turn will alter tune considerably. More tuning tips on page 131 of this forum.
You will love the 7 Port with 053 - very nice combo.

Well, up until today I was still not 100% sure whether to get a GO TECH for next season or go for something else. My decision has been made. I am definately going to be getting a new GO now. We had our final Club Day today and it was my first time running the Gen4 7 Port in my new D8. I ended up winning the Novice class with this secondhand engine that I have little history of and have never raced before. It ran brilliantly all day and had more than enough power to keep a smile on my face. Now I just have to decide which one I want.
Oh and while we are on race results, Pro Truggy today was also taken out by a GO Tech 7 port powered vehicle..... So who said you need to spend $500+ on an engine.

Thank you grizz
Will try these settings for the next race
The Go engines feel like it has a lot of power and will see how it goes
Thanks again

after 2 days of struggling to find a tune i found the problem, cracked case. hairline crack along the mounting post on the side. 3 gallons and it was really starting to impress me in the last few races. on the hunt for a case now. couple guys here in fl have cracked some cases, is this common? can anything be done to avoid this?

I just switched to Byron's 20% Gen2 from Byron's 30% Original on my 3 port Race that had about 1 gallon on it.
It still has a very good pinch but is broken in. I had a hell of a time getting a tune today.
I finally had to remove a .109mm shim. That helped a lot but it still seems to lean bog on the low end and doesn't have the proper snap. Suggestions?

I would go back to 25% or 30% fuel and original shimming. I believe the Go motors like a healthy dose of nitro and a hot plug.
