Any advice on the carb "wiggle" ? It's very small, like .5mm either direction, but definitely noticible. If it's not going to affect performance at all I'm not going to worry about it. I did a quick leak test and everything was ok there, so, probably no big deal.
Thanks again,

hey dave here are a few things i do when turning a go over for the first time.
1. add the breakin shim
2.check that you needle settings are about 1.5 turns in from flush on the LSN and about .5 turns in from flush
3. remove you glow plug and put some after run oil into the chamber and a small amount through the carb then slowly turn your flywheel from side to side to make sure that the moving parts all have a slight coating.
4. loosin up the glow plug slightly
5.prime the engine by blowing through the tank pressure line until you can see the fuel entering the carb
6.wrap your cooling head in ali foil and heat up using a heat gun to around 220 to 250 F
7.get you starter box up to full speed before engaging the flywheel on the starter wheel
follow these steps and you should be good to go
as for the carb wiggle as long as there is not leak problem you should be fine but keep an eye on it and if you not happy with it contact racefactor if your in the states and russel and the guys will sort you out I'm sure. also just to add to your 3port post In my experience with go engine the Gen 4 3pts have the smallest tuning window of all the Go range (but when you get it right man they go well) I found that by changing the LSN to the short version helped alot and the Gen 5 engines have a revised crank among other things that make them far easier to run
