One of the guys at the field said he increased the valve clearance to 0.004 and got much better fuel economy than when he had them gaped at 0.002 or 0.003. He is flying an OS but I would assume the...

Sr Tel, Thanks
I can see the difference in the photo. Will have to check that dimension.

Also, does the 180 have a rib at the bottom of the crankcase whereas the 150 does not? I see something...

Is there a way to tell the difference between a Saito 150 and a 180 without taking it apart?

This motor I'm looking at is being listed as a 180 but the plate on the side of the motor is missing....

Update - Weather was good enough to run to the field for a few good flights. 28 degrees and no wind this past Saturday morning.

Old Fart - You would be correct. I wrote the wrong prop size. I did have a 15x8 on the 125 not a 14x8.

Had something happen to me the other day that may have damaged my beloved Saito 125. My 125 is on a GP 60 size P47. I typically fly with a 15x6 prop but change it to a 14x8 to see the difference in...

I saw the post about Keleo and had to chime in. I have all good things to say about Kelvin at Keleo Exhaust.

Just installed a Keleo exhaust on my 125. Having a problem with leaking exhaust oils at the bolt. Nothing between the head and the muffler. Do any of you think a sealant will work to stop the...
