First thing I did was replace glow plug. went from os p-4 too os p-3. that motor does not like those plugs. Now ed bridges told me to only use the os-p3 in my 5 port. and it does not like any other plug. well I took it in the shop checked fuel filter,lines noticed air filter outer cover was a little dirty so I put on a clean one.I also took out the hsn,and to my surprise around the threads it looked like rubber gasket material? so I blew through the pressure line while holding a paper towel under the fuel inlet opening and out came more rubber particals. I basically just flushed it out and put needle back in. Back somewhere in this thread a gent was going to try the O'Donnell OD77T turbo plug. I did and by god that engine really likes that plug. So who ever suggested that plug thank you. I am going to run it in my 7 port turbo and save the 8.00 os plugs for my eb modded 5 port. So what did I learn from this thread? when my go tec starts acting up it is not necessarily the engine. mine have always stayed in tune. this particular engine I had set the needles once and never touched again until today. the other thing was don't panic, and I noticed I was getting a little anxious. thinking the carb the carb, got to be some thing wrong with the carb. sht I have everything set like the forum say's to. saved my self a lot of time and head ache just going over everything. and having faith in this product. was it the rubber stuff around the hsn needle? don't think so I think it was the glow plug. I think my whole point to this story for me is if the engines running good and you've done your home work there really is no problem only a quick solution. KNOW YOUR PRODUCT.

What is a reasonable temp range for the go sport 21 3 port with an 86 pipe.. im not seeking a exact temp just a range where they are commonly happy with.

I know the sts was happy at about the 230 range, just want to know if this is a normal temp motor or one that likes to cook. example the os rg liked 290-310 by design while the novas i have worked with like about 195-210 and the werks engine i owned well i was just happy to see it run at all so i didnt temp it. It that was a rare and very short lived thing (still have it, it is untunable).

Pipe
Wing angle
Diff oils
Wheel Bearings


and probably more ...

in order to give you a temp we would have to factor in all these perameters and then use some sort of mathematical formula to average an answer for you .

OR

you can run the engine at a good tune and after 30 mins of run time getting decent tank time, temp the engine with a decent temp gun and thats the temp it likes to run at.

Cheers MM

There is no such thing as a " Correct temp " to run at.

Anyone here tried switching to the Gen 5.5 carb? What did you think?
