Others throw it at the tunner/driver if something goes wrong with there engine...see "high end engine" own forums!! blame the tuner for not knowing how to tune a engine ass backwords
In off road a lot of things can go wrong...
-your air filter might go off
-a runaway
I don't even want to imagine this with a >$300 engine.
Do you want to discuss parts availability and cost...i don't think so.
RB/Novarossi rods are $50-$60
Picco-i saw somewhere they charged $78 for a rod.
yes other engines are expensive. i give the go engine credit for the engine itself my 5 port when it would hold a tune ran great it just wasn't enough for my liking. i shouldnt have to stop in a 5 minute qualifier because the carb wants to be a pile to temp the engine and change the tune because the carb is junk. i finished probably 3 qualifiers without having to mess with it other then that i spent more time stabbing the thing with a screwdriver to get the tune right. oh well if go ever figures out there carb issues and i dont have to tune the thing with the low end needle i might buy another one
