RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hobbsy, thanks for the help on the Saito 50. As you suggested, I leaned the HSN to peak and then began to lean the LSN for best idle. I got nearly one full turn more on the LS than I had before,...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hobbsy, when you say that you check the top RPM after every other change, do you actually adjust the high speed needle to be sure that you're at the peak, or are you simply looking at the tach to see...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks, Hobbsy. I'll give that a try and report back. When setting the LS needle, do you make your adjustments with the engine running and continually test for lower idle, or do you use some other...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

OK, I've read all the recent posts regarding setting the hi speed and low speed needle valves, but I've still got a question. The engine in question is a Saito 50 which has an unknown history but...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks for the advice, w8ye.

I don't know how you guessed, but I was indeed using a 14-6, an old Top Flite wood. The LS screw is already backed out flush with the throttle arm, so I guess I...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I have an 80 which I'm having trouble setting up to run well. The engine came to me with no history whatsoever, but I think lots of people have spun the HS and LS needles over the years. It also...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks for the input, Hobbsy. C. R. is 15.6? No wonder it's so hard to turn over !

When I took this engine apart to replace a bearing, there was a gasket at the cylinder base. It must be a...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I recently bought a gasket set for an 80 and found that it did not include the cylinder base gasket. When I called Horizon, they said that the cylinder base gasket is no longer used just go metal...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I just bought a new rear bearing for my Saito 80. Need advice on the best way to install the bearing in the case. Also, I've noticed that the old bearing is unshielded, whereas the new bearing is...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Regarding the .80 with a glued-in exhaust pipe:

The engine also has scratchy bearings presumably corrosion. I think I will replace the bearings and then run the engine. If the glued-in header...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

A week ago I posted some questions regarding a 50 that had been given to me. The engine seemed to have a modified backplate and was missing some parts. You guys were kind enough to point me in the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

There are no doubt lots of people who are more qualified to advise you, but it has been my experience that setting a four-stroke by ear doesn't work very well. For initial set-up of a new or unknown...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks for all the good help with my FA-50 questions, guys.

I have gone to the Horizon links provided by w8ye and all the prices look very reasonable. So that's all OK. Now I just need to...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

OK, thanks w8ye.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Here are a couple of pictures of my FA-50 with what appears to be a bogus carburetor. I looked at all the Saito carbs on the Horizon parts web site and didn't see anything that looks like this...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your replies to my FA-50 questions. The carb that's currently on my 50 doesn't look like the one on the Horizon Hobbies link that you gave me, which gives further...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
