With 3 liters through the MG66 I started to lean it a little this morning at the track..have been getting 9m30 runtimes with a 7mm insert and very rich mix..leaned the hsn in a 1/4 turn and it started to really scream..another 1/4 turn in and it went mad...runtimes jumped to a steady 11m45-11m50..top end is totally insane..I am going to try the 6.5 insert..can anyone confirm that GO are supplying a 6mm insert with the GX series??? I got 6.5 as the smallest in the MG's box..If not I'll be hunting a 6mm down online..
This is the maddest thing I have ever driven..It screams like a banshee after just 3 liters..pinch feels little reduced from brand new..I think the fact GO relaxed the initial pinch on their motors is a fabulous idea..easier on the starter box and less stress on internals period!
Oh how will I wait 2 gallons for the ceramics etc..more to the point how will I keep it on the ground!

With the MG66 we will be releasing our own set of venturis for the engine , we have designed a set of 6 for the MG66 . Normally reducing the carb throat gets more thank time but we have peopel getting 11 mins with 8 mm out of the box so i think 6.5 is small enough for this engine.

I made the suggestion to go down to 5 , 5.5 and 6 mm venturis about 6 months ago .. I think Simon Yii is designing a new set for the GX range which will be awesome ! ive seen some of his designs so far and they look goood ! Nothing released yet as far as i know .

As far as i know, GX series are 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm and 8mm carb inserts.
Usually on a big track where i practice, i do get 08.45 minutes of runtime, and i tried this :
- 7.5mm venturi
- 1.0 clutch spring (were using 1.1 before)
- VP PRO EFRA 3023 pipe
- 75% carb opening
I ended with 11.15 minutes of runtime on my 7 port engine, and at racing pace i didnt have any problem with RB's, Novas and OS's around me ...
cya !

My Go .25 6-port just came in from AMain. Came with a break-in shim and instructions, but no plug. 
I must be gettin old...lol... back in the day all of my OS and RB stuff always came in with plugs and accessories. OS #8 it is...medium-hot.
I can't wait to get this thing on the starter box!

Worth the wait Matt 
Our NZ distributor sold out his first order within a few days, and their queing up for the next batch Now peope are seeing how easy the motor is to run in, and the performance that's starting to become apparent as they get a few litres through, the second batch will probably go in a similar time frame
