Ok here is the Quick run down. new out of the box Go with Go pipe broke in with idling, figure eights then slow runs half throttle around the track keeping temps at 220 with quick full throttle down the straight. That's my break in method. 1/2 gal felt good, 2/3 gal motor was awesome even ran rich with tons of smoke and now at 1 gal I get flame outs. I know what to look for when flame outs happen. Plugs, leaks, sucked dirt ect... All is well. Things that changed from 2/3 gal from 1 gal are new fresh buggy(mugen us spec), Go pipe got sold during time off to a friend, went back to stock settings and plug brand being changed. Broke it in with 97t. I run os motors so when that 97t died I put a p3 which was in my stock but it didn't last at all and not sure why. Went back to 97t and flame outs are less but still flaming. I used the stock setting from the info given a pages back because I couldn't figure why it was flamming with the p3. I have the 2 needle carb so I did flush and flush and tune from there. Bottom as good power but you can hear the clearing out while throttling with tons of smoke. If I go any leaner on the bottom then it bogs. I spend last practice tuning it myself then asking for help from pros. I feel top is great, bottom has good power but motor has tons of smoke as if I'm breaking it in. And for the flame outs, they just happen. One min it can be upside down and still run, the nxt it only takes a few secs then it's out. Even with fuel. I can go a few laps with no issues then come in to pit and it dies when refueling even with fuel left. From new to 2/3 gallons the motor never never never flammed not even while on my lid for a few secs. Where should I start or what should I do? I loved it new but now I'm too scared to even club race it let alone dare use it for a trophy race.
Thanks
Hey bro, im sorry your having issues.... These motors are wierd to tune, cause the low speed needle never comes all the way out of the jet. I havent been out to rev in a while, cause i just had a son. The low speed needle in most go engines should not be more than a full turn in from flush. Dont preheat the motor, fire it up and let it warm up for only a minute... Then pinch the fuel line right at the carb inlet. If the low speed is set close to the right spot, the motor should only idle up a tad bit and die before 7 secs. If it dies before , or idles up high..you are too lean... If it takes longer than 7secs and does not idle up, you are tooo rich.... This test can only be done before the crank case gets to normal operating temps.... So try to be fast and let the engine cool down after trying a bunch of times. Hope this puts headed in the right direction.... I have used this method for all my go engines and has worked flawlessely. Im back into racing again, so maybe i will see you soon, hopefully you will have this problem worked out by then
