Thanks Rex. Never struck any of those in my orders down here.
Going on what Rex has said I would say so. Most likely out of a Pro Series Gen 5.5 (early to mid 09 ? ), which is a very good motor.

Speaking of the long and short low speed needles, we have these in-stock. I've been experimenting with one of my GX-5Rs, and I have to say I like the more linear powerband better. I'm thinking about ordering my next shipment (already have a large one on the way) with the longer needles, but would like to get some impressions from the guys that count... (YOU!!).
Couple of "pre" announcements:
We should have some Carb/LSN/HSN complete seal rebuild kits together (with pricing) in the next couple of weeks. A few of you have asked me about this, and I apologize about not getting back to you sooner.
We will be announcing a new partial sponsorship program within the next week. This will largely be managed by Team Manager/Factory Team Driver, Matt Sistrunk. In addition, Matt will be processing many of the orders from Lousiana. We are currently ironing out the logistics, but good things are happening.
Pricing- I have managed to negotiate a lower price from the factory. In turn, I'm relaying the savings on to you. Effective August 1st, 2010, I am reducing dealer and STREET price by $15USD on GX Engines and GX Engine Combos. This will remain in effect for as long as I can keep the negotiated price from the factory. Furthermore, I am eliminating mention of "MSRP," since I feel that this is misleading. There will be "dealer price" and "street price."
Many changes are taking place behind the scenes. For those of you that I havent responded to, let me apologize in advance. Also, the BEST place to contact me is at the company email address: [email protected]. I rarely check PMs on here.
well... its 2am (yet again)... time for sleep.
