Darn shame, as the earlier GXII and GXII-5RHO engines from the drawing board of Simon Yii were great affordable products with a big market worldwide.
Dave (Palebushman) - glad you've found a source of spares etc. Your very lucky to have a couple of MG66's up your sleeve. Spectacular engine - enjoy mate

Yes Shane those were good times and we did ok with the GX1 and GX2HO range, my all time favourite was the GX7R, I loved the power of the MM66 but always had tuning issues with mine, then the GX2 came along... with some odd carb issues even before release they reverting back to the GX1 carb, they were very smooth, then the 3 needle came out but had material issues...poor oring fits, insulators coming loose but mostly ran well if you could set them right... the motors themselves were great, very light and low CG, good power with the mighty 2072 pipe.
Im still running my last P/S set in a GX2 that GO gave me throught you Shane, might save it now in honour of the once great company.
