2) The carb has a small "wiggle" to it even when the pinch bolt is tight. When I got the engine the carb was really tight into the case. I took the pinch bolt all the way out and still had to heat the case just to get the carb to break loose and come out so I could seal everything up. Will this play affect the way the engine runs?

I don't know, I really want to like the GO engines, a lot of people here seem to have good success with them, but, it seems the carb issues are still around even with the latest generation. I have a 3 port race as well, that sits on the shelf at home because I just cant get it tuned, serious carb probs. I don't have any tuning issues at all with any of my other engines (V-spec, Falcon, Nova's) I really don't want to buy a new carb for it because at that point I should have just went ahead and bought the OS, RB, Nova...

Any advice would be much appreciated. I know they can be good mills, I've had brief glimpses of what they could do when the 3 port was actully working and was quite pleased, but, chasing a tune all day long can take some of the fun out of going to the track.

Thanks!
