Ha ha ha - nice one. Warm it up Giz, just in case you need it.

well it just sends out white noise over about a mile radius over whatever freq I dial in..very effective I should think though..but so far I'm carrying on with the track rebuild and sod em all..if they want us to move they will have to (a) compensate us big time and (b) pay me and at least 2 other guys a months work at salary rates to move the track and infrastructure...

No, the new needle i designed will be for the whole Go GX range and MG66 . They are retrofittable to gen 5 range as well. You can simply remove the original HSN needle and put the new one in . The MG and GX carb are the same except for LSN options . The MG carbs all come with long LSN needle. As previously stated once you set your LSN you rarely have to touch it again, you only have to do small changes on the HSN for day to day enviroment.

We are waiting on stock so keep an eye on the site.

I checked the gen 5.5 high speed needle to the Gx needle, both were within 1/10 of a degree. Actually I got a little less angle on the Gx. I am not sure why the Gx seem to tune different, low speed looks to be the same as our Gen 5.5 also. I didn't tear apart the whole carb yet though.

The new double seal HSN needles have a greater taper angle , we have trimmed it down to give a more gradual taper. We found this to give a less sensitive HSn tune .

Broken
 
I was racing this weekend. My truggy with a 5 port go tech, during the 1 st race the truggy rolled to a stop on the back straight? I walked back to the pits to find that I BROKEN another rod! This time it was bad the piston an sleeve bit the dust too!! When I got home I measured the crank, it was gone too! So I'll get RB MODS to help me out.

When you say "another rod", how many rods are we talking about ??
Not trying to point the finger, but it sounds like you may have a tuning or maintenance issue here if you keep breaking rods.

yeah- definitely talk to Rick about break-in, tuning, and maintenance. I believe he has a break-in service as well. I would highly suggest utilizing his expertise.

what was the crank measuring at where the rod connects to was it tapered

Ruune 12-09-2009 07:00 PM

Is this the motor that Rick Brake sent me the pics for?

Old motor
 
This was an old motor guys. I will rebuild it with new parts or buy a new gx 5.I bought the motor off eBay , it had about 4 gallons in it, then I put 3 more in it, I did some cutting on it myself. I never seen a rod break in half, it was a clean break.

oh k... yeah definitely talk to Rick about parts or a GX-5R. Might be better off just getting one of the GX motors. No telling what metal flying around inside that case did to the bearings and crank.

Speaking of ebay. I've seen a couple of asia-based retailers on ebay, trying to undercut other dealers. The factory is working hart to shut them down and/or prohibit them from selling to the US, Mexico, or Venezuela.

That said, any warranty claims to the Go Engine USA will need to go through an authorized Go Engine USA dealer, located in the US, Mexico, or Venezuela. If you purchased through an online retailer, we will need a receipt of purchase from an authorized Go Engine USA retailer. This includes ebay.

Also, all GX engines sold through Go Engine USA have a serial number that starts with "US." MG-66 engines start with AUMG.

when people buy off ebay most should relise that nothing will come warranty , anyway most go on ebay would be old ones floating around i have seen somke early models still selling at new prices and you could have the latest generation motor for almost the same price
