It actually is getting cold here and I think I may wait until spring to try the Mg66, I hate to run a new motor when it's below 0deg celsius.

On the 2072 it sound sick !!! the tune is easy and the running characteristics are fantastic.......It has the long LSN and it works very well, I can't understand why people were having such issues with it, IMO this engine tunes stupid easy... Of course my GX7 is modified, but even still the GX7 gives me a good base to work from.......
Sweet As !!!!
Glad to hear you boys are liking the new motors.
Maximo, your right on with the long needle tuning - it is stupid easy, especially with the new version GX carbs. They do seem to tune, and hold their tune very well. It all revolves around leaving that HSN alone. Once you have run the motor in, set it (barely changes from factory flush setting) and forget it
.
All the new GX range are sweet performers. It seems they have the edge on the older Pro Series out of the box. The 5's and 7's are killer, plus the 3 is a sleeper. Don't be fooled by the humble 3 Port, they are a weapon with the right clutch set up
