With the DLC coating, TKO ceramic bearing, Ed's adjustments,and break in ..The engines worth every penny over the price of the standard GO 5 port. Trust me she rips!

Hi, I have a go 5 port .21 non turbo and I notice a oily residue all over my crankcase which I think may be fuel? can this leak from the carb? I have heard of air leaks but not fuel. Can anyone let me know if this sounds likely because I'm a bit new to this 
If it may be a fuel leak I will check the seals and seal with RTV sealer
Thanks,
James

look to see if you can find the source of the leak. check the base of the carb, high-speed needle/fuel inlet, and check the carb boot for any pin holes.
I always use Lucky 7 to seal around the base of the carbs, HSN/fuel-inlet ,and pinch bolt.

Hi All,
I purchased a GO GEN 4 3PT R Spec a while back, previously I had expressed my disappointment. 1st had the Gen 4 carb not impressed, then used an OS VG carb, not terribly happy lacking power in all aspects, then yesterday stuck a NR 359 on road carb with 8mm restrictor and the engine is completely different engine. I could not believe the difference in power and when I took airlifter off to put in after run oil, I noticed that throttle only opening 65-75% Max. So more surprises in stock for me next run….95% throttle


Down side is the 359 on road crab would cost more than engine + pipe put together.

It could be a simple tune issue? check and make sure it is cleaning out. If its not getting hot could just be to rich. Run it on the street and make sure it will clean out and rev up. Usually if its too lean it will pop plugs or run pretty hot.
