RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

If it is getting too hot, then, the engine is not lubricated enough which is usually caused by the needle setting being too lean. If this persists for too long, the engine will generally stall. I...

The carb low end adjustment comes from the factory very rich. Leave it that way for several gallons of fuel even if you adjust the high end intially. These engines run better rich than lean

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

You should test the fuel consumption for this engine. I have found that a FA-.91 and Fa-100 can burn 1.25-1.5 ounces per minute. I recommend that you use a larger tank.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

My Saito FA100 burns about 1.25 ounces per minute so your engine's consumption is within that range. Do you have a velocity stack on your engine? This would help you a little.
