Why can't one just just drop a new engine in, break it in, tune it up and GO? NO NO NO got to go to the hardware store and buy a drill bit to set idle, buy sensor safe sealant, tear it down, seal it up, teflon tape the needles, do the hokey pokey and pray it will tune. My fuel tank and and lines are new and pressure tested so I know it's the damed carb. Can't wait for the Novarossi carb to come in the mail.
I'm sure it's me and I don't know what I'm doing but I've never had to put this much effort into getting an engine to run right. I had better luck with the older gen GO carbs.
I donīt hear too many others complaining
I have never had to seal anything, lube anything or fiddle with anything. Start it up (yes they are tight), heat cycle it, tune it, race it hard and maintain it regularly. No problems with four .21īs up to this point.
Teflon tape the needles
Whats with that ? I would check that a bit of the teflon tape hasnīt been ground off and found itīs way into the high speed jet. Could be the cause of the problems your having.
I am sure the new carb will do the trick, but honstly there is nothing wrong with the GO carbs. Take that teflon tape out, blow out the HS jet and give it anothr go.
