i happen to get the chance to tear into my buddies full mod motor...

it looked no diffirent then a gen 4 gotech other words the Caster Grenade.

he lost his air filter and decided to keep running the motor.
so i gave it a once over, and the crank will need to be replaced very soon as well as the rod. but i cleaned the whole motor out, rebuilt the carb and resembled it for him, and i got it tuned in pretty well for him..

he could never get it to idle right, (it was a pita for me as well) and i have a couple years under my belt when working with these engines.

and my thoughts is... its not worth what the full mod is going for. :(

his motor has been a pita since day one, the only time i ever saw it run good was when i tuned it in front of his house yesterday. and it idled for 20somthing seconds and went full wood, with just a tick of hesitation.

i told him it could be about 1/2 to 1 hour to lean to race, with. but we will find out this weekend.


so far i am not to impressed with these engines, for what you pay for.

if you think ANY of the engine parts other then the carb (which is outsourced from another manufacture for both JS and GO) look like a gotech you have no clue what your looking at, cause nothing is the same,, not even close... :sneaky::p

still dose not give me a reason to why his motor is a pos and wont idle for crap.... it likes to idle high, witch imo makes the tune shit.

with a poor attitude like that, are you asking for help or are you telling me? cause it sure isnt the engines fault....

Im sure you will get a LOT of help from people when you ask like this. :rolleyes:

its all good, i would still help, but apparently he's an expert with " a couple years under his belt"

Sending it to Ed to find an answer is a heluva lot better than whining abt it. I thought i could tune any engine myself, but i needed Ed to give me some tuning tips for the JS since it does tune different than what i was used to and it is very important that the idle gap is set properly. My full mod runs very strong. Ed bores the crank in a way that helps balance the rotating assembly better and in conjunction with the lightened rod it spools up faster and revs higher than the race prep. Ask Joe or Ed for help instead of slamming the engine.

Nothing wrong with the motor it’s the guy behind the screwdriver tuning it. I love the mill, when tuned right it rips hard. :sneaky:

there's an old saying you'll attract more bees with honey then you will with vinegar.. :lol:

karma works in mysterious ways..

Marcus the only reason you are ripping on this motor is because you are running those cheep alpha mills. You know I like this mill so watch what you say, or you will be walking to the track this weekend and not riding with me kid. :flaming:

easy guys lets not turn this into something bigger then it needs to be. Lets get back to how bad a$$ these engines are! :nod::tire:

How sad for you, I had hoped you understood what I meant by no bashing or flaming people or products. Your actions have cost the team a very welcomed sponsor, and also a friend..You're on your own Marcus. i hope you learn some day, I really do

i didnt bash, i posted my thoughts, the second comment was uncalled for i get that, im not saying im just saying.

Ok, my bad dennis, didnt mean to step on anyones toes. :nod:
