I need some help turning my Go 3 port R. I followed the Ron Paris engine turning guide 1st HSN, 2nd LSN ,3rd Idle,4th Readjust HSN For some reason my engine does not seem to get hot to extract the power I want. I don’t usually use a temp gun to turn.

I got a friend to temp my engine and it temped @84 Degrees, I learned HSN by 1/4 turn and it started to lean bog. I tried a few more times to readjust and took both needles to flush settings and tried to turn from there but to no avail. I couldn't turn HSN any further without the engine lean bogging.

What I’m after is a smooth power band from bottom end to top end... + a bit more on top

I use the following running gear.

Go 3 Port R
2027 Pipe and header combo
Firioni Sliding clutch, with 3 prings
25%Nitro, 12% oil, 10% Syn, 2% Castor oil

Thanks for all you help

what brand of Temp gun are you using ?? did you ever calibrate the gun ? almost all hobby grade temp guns are way out out of calibration and cannot be relied on for an accurate reading... Duratrax guns are the absolute worst offenders...some guns being as much as 90 degress off.......... Moral of the story is your motor is likely running right, but your gun is misreading the actual temperature
