Mate, I would put a few pennies away and get a new GX-7R for that buggy. You will be very impressed !!
I will check in before the NI to see if you want anything. I will have a sh-t load of parts with me anyway, so anything you do need I should have down there.

I was on amain and saw the whole p/s/rod set for like $60 that is super cheapppp compared to my picco and nova motors you can only afford a rod for that much!! I'll run this engine to the ground then pick up the new gx. I'm really impressed with the quality of go engines and to top it off the parts are really affordable. Wonder why pro's aren't running these mills??
22-2001-P2 is the baby you want. No more plastic inserts to break on these.
Get the new nitrile rubber OR-0004 and OR-0014 O Rings as well to replace the old ones when you fit the new carb.
The really early GO's had a few floors, and unfortunately became the butt of a lot of bad comments from knockers. These same people now still knock the new products (some 6 models removed from the originals) without really knowing anything about them. These are the same people who buy super expensive motors and expect them to last forever because of the extra money they paid for them. Ha ha, there's one born every minute.
The new GX Series motors are right up there. The image of the GO motors has taken on new strength over the last 6 months, with a lot of people joining the trend. We have had a good response in the Southern Hemisphere with some top drivers wanting to run these motors. I don't think it will be long before you see some well known names giving them a try.
