RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Whatever hammer is closest is always the best hammer! If there's more than one within reach, the biggest one's clearly best. I like the one I got for $1.97 at the 'Mart. It has an out-of-square,...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

The .65 is a nice, heavy engine -- same block as the .91. The extra weight helps make it s-m-o-o-t-h. It has noticeably less vibration than the .56 or .91. Saito's later trend is to bore the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Lee,

I have a World Models Super Frontier Senior, which is a Kadet Sr. knock-off. I have a Saito .65 in mine and think it's just about perfect. The extra engine weight is needed as these...
