Just my honest opinion.
BASIC TUNE this site is to give your opinions. i gave mine plus the way i do it before a morning heat as we dont have practice. so i do what i said she comes up to heat easy with a few revs on the box...
mybe your just not going fast enough for cooling
however i struggled with the long needle carbs... as you know.
the tuning is just a pain in the $%*^ but i throw in the short needle LSN. and the gx hums to life so much easyer...
mybe why alot are switching to the shorts.
im not saying the engines blow. i love the way it deals with its power.
i have a super hard time getting the gx up to temp with the long needle. taking like 2 tanks yet... once its there its good.
i do think i get a nicer bottom with the short needle too.
