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.
different horses for different courses
long needle for me, as it gives total control of the throttle, as opposed to the short were after 3/4 throttle it's all or nothing & as for tuning, once you get your head around the long needle, it's a breeze
