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.
My go 5 port did something similar on sat at the race. I had a very tiny air leak where the bottom of the carb go's into the block. I only noticed because there was a very tiny wet spot on the top of carb. and if it hadn't been for the dust I would not have found it. If you take the carb out and look down the bore of the block shaft you will see it. I don't know why it's there but when I put silicon on the seal-top and bottom, seals, It went back to running almost perfect and I was able to finish my main.
