Is it me or do the GO motors tend to smoke alot? I am running Byrons 30% Race blend. Motor temps are running between 220 F and 235 F using a hot plug. The motor has 1 fuel bottle over a gallon on it and it blows out great. But I just noticed it seemed to blow alot more smoke then what I am used to. Also I am using the Alpha 2090 pipe with a 8mm insert. I just boiled it in antifreeze before putting it on the motor for break in. I did let it dry completely and made sure all the anti freeze was out. I guess it is just the nature of the motors? I doesn't bother me where as as long as I am seeing smoke I know the motor is oiling. And thus far the GX 7 is an impressive motor. I had to drop to .9 springs in my clutch to help tone down the snappy bottom end. It seems to work better as I roll the throttle slowly and it responds very well to it. Also got a few pointers from another man running Go motors also and I will see how they work this weekend also.
