Curious on the shims, currently I have the two stock shims on it, one .28mm the other .32mm for an effective .60mm, and the extra shim in the box is .42mm. The engine has a bit over a gallon on it, would putting the single .42mm shim on it help with tuning at this point?

If it helps, I live in Northern IL and for the last couple months it's been high 70s up to mid 90s, humidity between 5- and 40%. Thanks for any insight.

I would say keep with the stock shimming. I've run the engine with the stock shims in a variety of conditions. From temperatures as low as -5*C to as hot as 30*C. I personally would rather change the plug with the weather conditions. I use OS plugs so anything over say 10/15*C i'd use the P4 and anything lower than 10*C i'd use a P3.

Information should be released very soon!

ST stands for ??

i run a go engines gx7r. bearings last longer then any others i have used.
plus. i bet you 1000$ bucks any engine you could buy couldnt out rev my 7 port beast :).

here we all get 10+ gallons every engine. reedys die at 5-6. i have owned reedys before. they die very quickly.

suppose you'll say the MM66x blows too? thats probably the only engine that will outrev a gx7r. but guess what? its a modded GO engine.

i own nearly all "top engines" but i will always use my GO engines for race days. they normaly never need adjusted start first pop.

try a engine a few times before you bash it please.

I've run GO engines before, never really liked them. For the price, they are a snappy little mill, but I've never had a reliable one. Personally for the price, I'd rather buy a reedy or a Powerhouse modded N21 Novarossi, power on both is much smoother and way more linear than the GO's. Plus, I have a hard time believe they are good quality when they come with an extra rod in the box.

I will say the power on the Go's is pretty impressive, but for my local tracks it lacks drivability, and everyone that has owned one around here hasnt had it very long. Have had a wide range of problems, from the typical carb issues of the earlier models, to rods wearing out in a gallon or less, to just flat out being junk out of the box. All of the local guys that have run GOs have switch to RBs, Novas, or OS, with a few exceptions(Sirios and EBmods). Reliability and drivability on these motors are top notch, and I've personally never seen a bad one.

I have a Reedy that I just rebuilt(user error damaged some internals--long story) and I'm sure when I get a chance to run it I'll be more than pleased with it, as I was when I first bought it...

Can't wait to see the new Reedy engine.:nod:

How many gallons are you guys seeing out of these before a P/S/R?

sooooo, i had an engine go away on me... and when i say go away i mean the silicon ramp in the crank swelled out way past the end of the crank. i have a couple questions..... what do i do with the botched engine? and my other reedy(NIB) has the same crank filling. so do i run it and hope for the best? i heard AE has a different material in the crank now.

thanks

I've heard that AE has been really good with customers with this problem. You just give them a call tell them what happened and I've heard they've replaced them with a brand new engine with the new silicone puddy in the crank. Give them a call.

I've heard a possible release date in the shops for end of October to mid November. . . . . . .

Does anyone run a O.S. P7 plug in their Reedy Engine and how does it do?

stick to the p3/p4 plugs, no reason to run a p7 in that motor.

OK get this straight. they include a second rod because the GO motors have such a tight pinch from the factory that it takes a toll on the rod for the duration of breakin. and they advise switching to the new rod at the 2 gallon mark. all manufactures should do this to keep the custamers engines at there peak. Ipulled my break in rod at the 2 gallon mark and threw it im my 3 gallon old Go .25 practice motor and have 2 more gallons on it. now thats alot more than 1 gallon per rod. and the earlier Gos did have some carb issue but mostly cuz ppl didnt know how to tune a long lsn, and so now GO made all the US engines with the short needle for easier tuning. and for being junk out of the box LOL your joking right? i have blown in reedy 121 powered buggies doors with my GX-5R powered truggy on straights like no tomorrow. completely BS what you speak.

If you wanna talk about go engines go to their fourm. Last time i checked it says Reedy on the top of my page.
