If my carb is secured on engine and the carb body still will wiggle a little, is that a bad thing. Can it be fixed.

yes and yes, your carb is not seated all the way down. I would loosen the pinch bolt take carb all the way out use some sensor safe silicon put around o ring, reinstall just squeeze together with thumb on top of carb hold in place tight and tighten pinch bolt. do not over tighten pinch bolt. if you do you may crack the carb casing.

Carb barrel is not turning, just the body. I can hold barrel with pliers and wiggle the body a tiny bit.

Ah you have wiggle carb, not really a problem as it still works fine .

Hi Mark,

I have one of those wiggle carbs, the black bits that look like dots fell off. I have put a dob of Hi Temp Silicon in the hole that is missing the black dot. As I have not used the Go carb for a long while, I have noticed another missing, should I rid the rest and fill with Hi Temp Silicon. Will this be safe option?

Thanks for your help.

Happy belated Easter

Still to this day I think about the GO .25 I had..... Man that thing was stupid!!!!!!!!! I ran the 2053 "FLS" hardcoated pipe and all I ever did on the stand was ... The motor is a monster with that pipe.

anyone else?

Depends how old the "old carb" is. If you have a Gen 3 or similar vintage carb with the short LSN needle, standard setting is about 1.5 in on the HSN and 2.5 in on the LSN.
Gen 4 with the long LSN, will see HSN 1/4 turn in from flush max, then tune with the LSN only to about 1.5 - 1.75 turns in from flush.
Read back on this thread at random over the last 50 or so pages and you will find lots of reference material on short and long LSN carbs and the difference between them.

Hey guys do any of u have a 3 port race spec? What glow plug do u run. And what temp do u run at. Anything?

are coated cranks available yet?

I have the 3p-R. Been running the Dynamite Platinum Medium plugs, although I'm going to give the O'Donnell 99t a shot next. The only DP I've lost was due to hooking up more than 1.2v to the glow plug.

Thanks mthrid! I have tryied rb concepts plugs #5#6#7. I don't know what to use??

What nitro content are you running? The higher the nitro and/or humidity, the "cooler" the plug you should use. I ran OS hot plugs when I first started and found they burnt out quickly. The DP medium's have lasted about 3 times as long here in Florida. I'm planning to switch to the O'Donnell 99t (cold) when these run out in hopes of getting longer life in addition to the cost savings.

I should probably mention that the plug "temps" aren't necessarily comparable between manufacturers.

I run byrons 30%-11% oil contin
