Thanks for the input.
to get a good idle the bottom has to be set correctly, and the idle gap, and if your using the GO plug that came with it change it out for a OS hot plug, the motor is still tight at this point and the needles are still fat, the hotter plug will help, and keep fiol on the head so the sleeve doesnt shrink this will cause it to labor hard ond shut down.

well i took my trip around my first dirt oval in a 1/8 late model in the "limited" class. First time out i had the fastest lap and all day of open practice i was just distancing myself from the pack. Come to find out at teh end of the day, my Go 3 Port Race was illegal for limited racing, even though it fit the rule book of 3 port under $200

Are Go's too fast???? I think so

running a Mugen MBX5 with Go 3R started with go plug but it fouled and switch to a O.S. A3??? i think. Was only running 250* and was killing the RB's and nova down the straights

What are everyones opinions on the .25 and the .28? I am trying to get the 5 port Turbo, but they are out of stock and I don't think I will have it in time for the Truck Nats.

Is that the .25, or the .28? I think I heard that the .25 was better? What about fuel mileage? At the Nats, fuel mileage will be important, which is why I really wanted the 5 port.

the owner hates loosing....
the rule states any 3 port produciton engine under $200 or modified to the point of $200
the owner of the track runs the same division and wins every week and thats all it is.
I think i need a full ride sponsorship, if my local track tells me im too fast lol!!!!!
well, ill put on a nova head and go blister them tomorrow and let you know

Pass em on the out side that will piss them off.

C.Branch, yes the .25 the .28 is a handfull and Im not seeing the runtimes like the .21, but the .25 is there if not the same as the 5 port. I have heard of 9.40 out of a .25 i did for Phil Sanders, that was at motorama and nitroblast, not sure what T Mizz is getting.

If the owner had any integrity at all he wouldnt race to win, or if he did his position wouldnt count on points or payouts if its a cash rase. Race the 3 port r he cant say its illegal if it is under his own rules .

The 3 port Race Spec does have 2 bypass ports, they aren't actually counted as ports though so you should be legal.
A few years ago we had a similar problem with a track owner with stock electric, basically the owner wanted to sell more motors. I bet if your track owner sold Go motors they would be legal.

Hey guys, im haveing alot of trouble getting my 5pt to turn over in my 8ight. It seems as if the pinch is so extreme my starter box just locks up everytime the piston gets to the top of the sleave. I have wraped it up in foil, heated to 260, backed to glow plug out, tried it with the break in shim and with out, and my box has plenty of power. I have been messing with it all day long and im about to freak out. any help would be appreciated.
