also i just got a new piston/sleeve/conrod for it as it is about to go out here soon. will i be ok breaking in these new parts with 30% fuel? i cant find 20% anywhere. no one around my parts sells anything less than 30%
thanks for the help
The GO's come shimmed from the factory for 30% with the shims you described (2 x thin brass and 1 x thick aluminum).
It won't hurt to run your motor in on 30%, just take it easy. It's better to run the motor in on the fuel it will be using under normal race conditions, rather than change fuels later.
