Not a fan of a wandering fuel line. I just coil it around and zip tie it to the front brace. So how many feet of fuel line are you running?

I have one in a Team C GT8L. Screamer of an engine! Clutch it with 1.0 or 1.1 springs to get your bottom end. I'm using the VP Pro Aluminum 3 shoe clutch. I had it on an Ofna 086, but the Go 2072 is on it's way. It would burn rubber from a dead stop, so plenty of bottom end. One of the guys here has a Nova Flash Rally, and it would keep with it until about the middle of 2nd gear. So definitely a great engine choice for the GT cars. 




The 2072 will give you increased bottom end, without a great reduction in top (if any), plus the 2072 has a bark all of it's own. It will howl in the GT

I went ahead and picked one up while Amain was still blowing out the 2 needle versions. Plunked it in the DM1S and just working through break in. Not yet ready to open it up, but it feels like it's going to be a really good match for GT. Running an 0801 for now, but have a 2072 on the way. Should be in fine form for the TZ GP

The new 3 needle GXII (which you guys in the US should see soon) will have similar performance to the Nova carbed motor Hustler mentioned.
The 3 needle carb is quite different to the original 2 needle. It gives a stronger idle, and more power across the board - but smooth too. Run time is good (we have seen up to 12 min + in truggy under good conditions).

The O ring on the carb neck is not making proper contact with the crank case.
Will this be a problem?
Obviously I tried to push it in there as hard as I could, but it is not going in any further.
Should I take it out, try to smear some silicone shock oil on it and stick it in again, run it as is or what?

I was fitting the 3 needle carb to the crank case just now, and while it fits just fine in there, it doesn't go in as deep as I would like.

The qualities I described are what we have found with the GO 3 needle carb as opposed to the 2 needle. Silmilar in description to what Hustler has found between the 2 needle and the Nova carb (going on previous posts a while back).

I was considering smearing it with silicone shock oil to make it enter more easily.
