Hi im in the process of purchasing an off road buggy with the gsx400x impulse engine in it, i havnt seen it in person yet only photos, the guy who is selling it states that it runs good for about five minutes then run really rough (wont idle ect) im picking coils leads plugs or stator, he thinks carbs are blocked but i dont think it wud behave like this if they were, what things would i look for (if i cant start this engine the day i go c it and hopefully pick it up) to prove this engine is good, i am taking a compression guage to check each cylinder as ive been told they should be around 160-170psi if good and if below 130-140 its shagged, what else should i look for? heres the link to the kart on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=255046714 plez check it out it sounds and looks like a real good deal
