Hi All,

I desperately need your help. My Go 3 P R, is not getting hot at all. Down the front straight its like watching grass grow, Buggies are whooping my behind. The following things I have tried without success:

Changed fuel line
Changed fuel filter
Sealed back plate & Carb
Changed carb to OS
Changed clutch from Fioroni slider to standard clutch, carbon shoes with 1.1 springs
Changed all exhaust seals
Changed all exhaust springs
Purchased a new buggy one of lighter buggies on the market, thus new fuel tank ect, ect

Problem:

The engine is almost spitting fuel, lean top end =too lean, starts to bog, back out top end, lean bottom end, I loose considerable amount of top end, down the straight you can literally make your self a cup of tea. Also engine is still tight, lock up top.

My possible solution:

Race with aluminium foil around head and try and get some heat, thus hopefully losing some of the pinch.

Note, I don’t usually use a temp gun last time I used 1 borrowed from friend, I was told brand X was notorious for false temps. I use spit and sizzle, when I spit on the head the spit just sits there, also tried pinch tech to check bottom end it’s slightly lean 3-4 seconds cuts out. I use the Ron Paris method of tuning all my engines. This motor has me completely fooled.

Thanks for all your help.
