Good news, I just checked horizon and the engines are due in on the 19th of this month.:D

clarksib 03-16-2008 03:09 PM

I heard that too, does that mean into horizon or into local hobby shops??

sharkman 03-16-2008 05:59 PM

Unknown, I work part time at my lhs to support my addiction.
Horizon's dealer site says 3/19. It was 3/20 and when the dates were updated most stuff got pushed back to 4/9, engines went to 3/19.
I will know on the 19th if my engine shows up or not. Either way I will post
an update if the date changes.

hey, we got something first in Europe :blush:

Ran mine last weekend for the first time. Great motor and pipe (pipes soft though).

TQ and the A main win so i can only say i'm impressed. Tuning was easy and it runs nice, very smooth from the bottom to top :)

Did you buy the promo kit? If so which pipe did it come with the 2053 or the 3009?

Sweet, i ordered mine from the apex models in the UK, hopefully it will be here anytime now. What plugs are you using in it? I take it ninja, boss, falcon, grp plugs are all the same.

I'm still on the original which is looking great after breakin and a meeting. I've ordered a set of 5 Ninja No.6 Turbos which should be with me tomorrow.

I've also been running the new Byrons 30% Gen2 fuel (no re-shimming of the head needed) which is working out great too.

:blush:

I'm no longer running the GRP Ninja motors so if anyone is looking for a sweet deal on Ninja (GRP) plugs, I have a 5-pack of the #5 plugs. Email me if interested at [email protected]

Best regards,

Im trying to idle a tank through mine and it if i take the glow warmer off it just flames out :weird: It came with a #6 plug, ive tried a #7 same thing and a #5 which seemed a little better but still wont keep idling unless i have the warmer on. Too rich maybe? Im running 25% and havnt installed any of the 2 extra head shims it came with.

ezveedub 03-20-2008 10:55 PM

Sounds like its too rich. Thats why when you ran the the #5 it seemed better. The hotter plug will stay light with a richer mixture.

TonysScrews 03-20-2008 11:32 PM

The GRP Ninja's came from the factory pig rich. Lean the LSN 1/2 turn in.

Best regards,

FrankBlack 03-21-2008 12:23 AM

Yep you guys are right, it took a full turn on the lsn and everything was fine :)
