Whats the ideal tuning starting point for the new GO carbs that have a little red go sticker on them? I'm in the process of breaking in a new GO 5 port (1/2 gal. so far) and it seems to favor a fatter setting on the LSN. If I try to lean out the LSN, I get a machine gunning sound after a 1/2 throttle run. Right now I have the LSN about flush and the HSN at about 1 turn in and it's still fat on top. I'm pretty sure I set the idle at 1mm.
You will have a Gen 5 long LSN carb.
Re-check the idle gap is .7 - 1mm wide. This is really important, otherwise you will be chasing a tune forever.
Set the HSN at flush, and the LSN at 1 turn in from flush and give it a run.
Depending on what happens go either in or out on the LSN until you have a good idle and take off, then tweak the HSN for a good top end. Half a turn in on the HSN is about max for a long LSN motor (which is what you will have). Any leaner on the top than this and you will start getting lean bog etc.
Let us know how you get on.

I think it was somewhere in this thread they talked about the funny squealing sound coming from the engine at break in. I have searched and cannot find. so if any one knows please pass along. go-tec 7-port turbo using sidewinder 30%. my head temp on the first tank was around the 240ish mark no higher. I also preheated to 200 before firing and am using a os p-4 turbo plug. It idled perfect just when I gave it a little tap to clear out it made that sound.

Sounds like it is either drawing air in or blowing air out somewhere ?
Itīs not running backwards (clockwise) is it ?
I think you might have to talk to Mark a MMods about that one.
