I'll have to look and I'll pm you.

Sounds like the metal ring came loose from the composite, I have heard of some people epoxying them but you basically need a new carb body. They have been replacing them for free here in the Usa. It's best to have the place where you bought it warranty it.

Rex

how long is the warranty on go engines?

I found this one: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...etor-Main-Body

would this fit on a 3 port turbo head engine?

I've also seen the clamping nuts come together before clamping the carby. If you grind a small amount of material away from the ends (the two surfaces that touch when you tighten the screw, NOT the surface that contacts the carby), it will allow the clamping nuts to tighten onto the carby.


Pete.

Thank you both for information. Still learning nitro and I have never messed with shimming so I had no idea that they act like a gasket. The way the massive mods article is worded it sounds like it is possible that you can run without one which is why I thought it would work.

Nice one Giz :) Won't be long now !!! Lucky bugger :D

0801 is great on the 5 Port. Good bottom and top.

Doing the clamping bolts up too tight is what stuffs the carb body and causes things to become loose. On the earlier carbs it cracks the plastic liner and allows the carb to move about. On the later Gen carbs, if you crank real hard on the pinch bolts you can put a dent in the carb throat and cause a loose fit too. Do the bolts up snug, but don't crank hard on them. They will hold the carb with suprisingly little tension.

Guys,

In your personal opinion, how you compare GO 2047 pipe v/s GO 0801 pipe on a GO 7 port ?, powerwise and runtime-wise ?

thanks,

2047 in standard form is weak on bottom ans def. not suitable for 7p. 0801 is much better but lacks top when compared to the 2047. So I'd take the 2047 pipe and 0801 header (or any longer length header) and cope it with the 2047 pipe and you have a winner for the 7p. Some say it's even better than the 2072. To me the 2072 is best for the 5p and the truggy engines and the 0801 or 2047 + long header is the pipe for 7p.

Regarding runtimes the 0801 is slightly better than 2047 or 2072 if you can live with the slightly restricted top.

Has anyone found a better plug than an OS #8 for the 3 Port Sports? Thinking about trying a couple different medium and medium/hot plugs but figured I would try and narrow it down some.

+1 on all the above. I run the 2072 on my modded 5 port and it ROCKS big time compared to all the other pipes. The 2047 with the 0801 or similar longer header is a killer on the 7 Port (better then the 2072 IMO). It gives the 7 a boost in bottom end, and still lets the 7 ports legendary top end do it's thing.
It's a nice smooth power band all the way through.
Pato - good to see you featuring in the podiums. Keep up the good work.

Thank guys ...

And ... what about runtimes ?

cya,

Odonnell makes some short Os style plugs.

Hey Pato,

as for runtimes I found the 0801 only slightly better than the 2047 -0801 header combo. For me both are around 9-11min depending on the track clutch, plug,restrictor etc but the power band on the 2047-0801header combo is far better( my opinion):D

central hole of second chamber is closed 10mm for GO 0801 and GO 2072.
but GO 2047 is more bigger than 0801,2072 to 13mm.
if central hole bigger than 10mm,the power band is between at top to mid. then noise is more too.and fuel consumption is more too.
if central hole average at 10mm,the power band,noise,fuel consumption are conform to IFMAR rules.
so each tuned pipes have different set up to GO TECH engine.it's depend on your favor.:nod:

Hey guys i have a go tech 3 port Race and a 7 port my? is i have buggy and truggy with motor should put on the buggy and the truugy
