ok let me add a grain of salt to this oprah winfrey love fest show we have here.
sure the go tech is great, but there are a few issues. let me outline them.
1) the carby. the seal between the metal section and the plastic sections of the carby allows air to enter, ruining the tune. How do i know this? most owners of go's in australia have fixed the problem by placing jb weld around this joint
2)the quality is very good yes, and machining is great, but certain cosmetic finish issues still remain. sure not a big woop, but it helps sell an engine (minor point, granted)
3)there is a revised low end needle from what i have been told. hence original carby low end needle is not really designed well (course thread i am imagining, and hence hard to get fine tune) i've experienced this whilst trying to tune my low end.at one fraction its rich, and another it's lean.
4) engine does not come with enough headshims as standard. sure not a massive point, but you want to buy it off the shelf ready, and not be required to read up on a forum to learn what is needed
other than these things the engine is fine. Problem is, from my experience the carby seal issue is hampering my tuning big time! i mean, i can't get it to idle for more than 10 seconds without it bogging down insanely and dieing
...im not a newb at tuning either
, and i am using good fuel.
i'm actually contemplating poping in my OS vspec carby...yet this sort of defeats the purpose of why i bought the engine.
i wanted a cheap, well built replacement to the OS, yet if i need to chop and change parts...well,....what's the point really. I want two good engines not one good one, and another good one with a missing carby
sorry MM but i just don't see the point in a "love fest" forum man, there are issues, yet the engine is great quality, but before it can hammer the competition even before it hits the track these issues need to be resolved. JUST FIX THE BLOODY CARBY GO TECH!!
