Novarossi C6TF plug.
25% nitro, 15 oil
135 degrees temp at glow plug.
It should run fast and hard for a long time, but if you run 30% and minimal oil i would run it a bit richer so it lasts so IMO your better off running what i stated but each to their own.
PS: they dont make as much power running rich, well thats what i found.
Leak test your engine because i found after i ran mine in the front engine bearing leaked pretty bad considering how new it was. Just a heads up.

it will not harm your engine and I know this because all I have run in my turbo GO engines for the last 12months are long body turbo NR plugs

The engine will want to run at 250-260 until it gets around a gallon and a half thru it. I would reccomend if you run at that temp to just run it easy, or tune it down so it runs around 240. After you get over the 1 gallon mark then you can push it harder.
Todddye Their on their way should be in this week.
DVP congrats man those 3port sport engines are really good.

You can get the O-Rings from Go if you want the part number PM me and I will give it too you.It is a known thing some engines have bad seals its not there fault just rubber problem you can also email Russell and tell him your problem he will help you out I had the same problem just put a novarossi seal on it gonna order a go tech one this weekend.

The new. orings are firmer than the old black rings, if for whatever reason you take the carb off when the motor is brand new you will notice that you will have to apply a good bit of preasure to keep the carb in the case. When applying it back in just use some after run oil on the neck of the carb, this will help it slide backin and not tear the oring, you will know if it's a new oring if it is peanutbutter brown.
To get the best seal on tghe pinch bolt, pull the screw out first, gthen apply ULTRA BLACK permatex when the two parts are in the case, do it in a round motion so you can see that there is no visible area of the pinch bolt on both sides, then place the screw in and the screw will be sealed as well, and don't overtighten the pinch bolt. as with any engine sealing the back plate is also a good habit.

Just out of interest, I noticed the carb on my 5 port was slightly loose the other day. It was still tight in the crankcase housing, but moved slightly sideways when the throttle was applied. I am not running a strong throttle return spring, just 2 x silicone throttle bands.
On removal of the carb I discovered the new "peanut brown" O ring in the crankcase housing was all shredded. This is a relatively new motor with approx 2 gallons through it. The carb has not been previously removed. It wasn't causing any problems, motor was running fine with good stable temps. Just thought it might be something for you guys to check on your motors.
