You need to keep in mind until the engine is broken in properly you will have to tune differently to how you are used to tuning once the engine is run in... Please realise that you will not get normal operation on any engine no matter what brand till you are run in ..



What sort of problems are you guys encountering ? Are you sagging for power at half tank ? is idle erratic ? please give me more info on PM thanks

My engine has about a gallon on it now. I have never had this problem with any other engine. It was impossible to tune as it would run fine for a few min then the lean bog would happen. If I had a different LSN I would have changed it but I didnt all I had access to was an OS carb which solved my tuning problems.

I was not the only one who had this problem this weekend. There were 2 other 3 port R's that had the same issue. I am getting a new LSN this week and will try the GO carb again.
