If the 3port and the 5port use the same crank,
then AMain has it in stock.

Ok, somebody help me out here. Who is going to be the official dealer in the US where I can order a GO engine and is he going to have the full line of engines available? I will be interested in a .28 size with either a pull or roto start. Thanks.

the big dog as far as the GO Engines gurus go. He is in
it for the long haul and is a great guy to deal with.
I think the new importer is going to find out that
Rex is going to be a leader in getting GO Engines
USA back on the grid again. I also think your going to
see alot of people jumping on and getting back on
the GO wagon real soon.

Hello, i've start the break-in of my new GO GX5R today, and i have a question for the GO engine guru here.
I break-in it with Byron 30% GEN fuel, and as soon as i start my engine, i'am not able to make it run if i remove the glow starter from it.
I have try different plug (OS P3,OS P5, Novarossi C5tf, RB 6) but as soon as i remove the glow plug starter, it died
I've try with 20% fuel, same ting.
The only way i have found to make it run and make the break-in was to lean the LSN by a full 3/4 of a turn. Like that, he idle well and no more flame out.
Is it possible than an engine came as rich as this from the factory??
It is the first time i've alot of dificulty to make an engine idle and stay alive...

Yes, sometimes engines can come rich from the factory. If you know you have a good plug in there you did the right thing by leaning it just a tad. Just make sure its still spitting raw fuel during the first few tanks to make sure everything is getting lubed well.
I usually idle mine 2 full tanks at 200 before i put them on the street.

OK thank you, the only plug how keep the engine from flame out and died is an OS P3 ultra hot.
And i don't lean the HSN, but the LSN.
The Novarossi C5 (hot), OS P6 (hot) don't have succes.
And the engine don't spit raw fuel, but with an aluminium tape over the cooling head, the engine is rich enough to make a big blue smoke trail from the exhaust, and the temps is in the 205*-225* range

Dakamat you are fine with your temps just use some good afterrun oil, and I like to break my mills in with at least 11% oil fuel then race tune and race with 9%. The 5 port's favorite non Go plug has always been the P3, and if your tune is good the plugs last for ever. A cheaper plug alternative I found to work as well is the OD77T. Well I just got back from my last points race of the out door season and won every heat and before the Mains rain out. My Powerhouse MODS gen 5.5 3 port race is such a monster im kinda already missing it. Its up for sale with Dynamite 053 with between 2 and 2.5 gals on it for a good price. There is no nitro in the winter my way and I will be running E-1/8th till spring. Which then I will get a GX or MG for next year. I have some spare stuff to gaskets carb parts springs for the header and pipe a front bearing full set of Venturi's stock head and a LW Donut racing head,and any plugs I may have left. And I am using a RB WS7 carb on it. If anyone is interested PM me for details.

I wouldnt worry about where the needles are sitting to make your engine run as fuel temps and location will make the differance..
i have found the od med plugs to work the best for myself an they are cheap to
