I seem to have a minor tuning issue with my Go 5 port normal plug. I usual run my buggy on Sunday afternoons in tropical climate.

However, as evening approaches, it becomes rather rich (I think) & idles really low & fames out if one is not constantly throttling the buggy. I am using a dynamite 086 pipe. The solution to this is to lean the low end needle to bring the idle up. Then, the next weekend, I have to richen the needle to bring the idle down as then repeat the cycle. This is not good as most of the races that I will participate in run from morning to late afternoon. Don't want to have to fiddle with the engine during the most critical time of the race weekend. What are the area that I can look at to try to eliminate this ? Any advice is appreciated.

BTW I am a novice in nitro & I love my GO. It is relatively economical & pain free to tune except the recent issue mentioned above. I have run other engines but it looks like I have settled for this particular make.

This very typical for climate changes as you have, it'll just sharpen your tuning skills.
