RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Well that's good to know:D That's probably it then. I used a small wire in the hole to help hold the cam but it's really hard to keep my big fingers holding it in position while I set it down:( Any...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I need some help/suggestions here folks.

On the well broken in Saito 100 on my GB Extra I think I have to flush out my spray bar. I put a new cam and followers in it adjusted the valves. It ran...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Yep, I've been flying the heck out of it. Starting to really get dialed in and reliable. :) The 14x6 prop worked out great. Thanks for the info on the needles. The next new engine I buy I'll use your...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Still messing with the 91 on the Hog Bipe. Experimenting with props it seems the HSN needs readjusting to tune for each different prop. I'm also chasing the LSN a bit and man is it a narrow band now,...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I really like the idea of clearly labeling the ingredients AND in % of volume, not weight. I started mixing my own again mostly because it's cheaper but also at the hobby shops it's rare to see the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I think the deisel was Hobbsy a page or two back. I'm also very curious to learn more.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hobbsy
That is very interesting. Where's the advantage, cheaper fuel? More torque? As for lowering the compression I would take a look at making a shim for under the cylinder. That should be fairly...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Wow, that's a surprise, and good to know! I did notice the difference in the HSN richening less. Also explains the markedly less oil output compared to the factory settings. Now I feel I have the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Well I wish I had seen this break in schedule earlier. I was going to write it down but then it's pretty easy to remember :D Maybe I'll fly it at full throttle a few flights and speed the process. :)...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Old Fart, w8ye, and Hobbsy, thanks. My great running 100 has the LSN in that much. The (NIB) 91 came with it above the plastic arm a couple of turns so after a half hour or so of running I put it...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks w8ye, it's back together without the cowl and when I run it tomorrow I'll look to screwing it in when setting the idle and see how it goes. I readjusted the valves a little. They were actually...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Ok thanks. The vibration seemed to be throughout the range. I'm going to put her back together, leave the cowl off, and play with it again. One thing I did while it was on the test stand just before...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I tore into it and it looks like the rod is not bent. I had run this "new in box" engine about a half hour on the test stand where it had started to be pretty smooth with a fairly good idle. Then I...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I'm pretty sure I need to replace the rod in my Saito 91 due to my stupidity and hydrolocking it. I knew better but then it's a long story. I've never taken a four stroke apart. Is there any manual...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

You're probably right. I was internet searching for mixing materials and found Klotz sells a mix of 22% oil and 78% nitro to be used to increase the nitro % in your existing fuel . No hazmat shipping...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks for the link hobbsy, that was great information. If I switch to the premium extra I think I'll feel a bit better about using it in my plder ringed two strokes.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks Ed. I make that 100 mile drive every couple of weeks anyway so I can just stock up. Glad to hear the Wildcat is good fuel. Does the "2/4 stroke" designation nean it is an 18% synthetic and...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I got to post number 50 until I got smart and looked at how many posts there are here :eek:. I don't think I'll live long enough to read them all.

I just bought a used Saito 100 and that will be...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Locktite and others make compounds to seat or in fact lightly glue a bearing into wherever you're inserting it. It is not permanently glued. I'd have a look at something like that to try instead of...
