RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hobbsy, I think you may have invented the Saito equivalent of the OS alpha series which do not have a vent either! The oil mist goes up the pushrod tubes and through a tiny hole in the rocker chamber...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Well, actually , that gauge is the "TOO MUCH" gauge. For example, in the manual for the FA220, it is explained that the cylinder, being aluminium, will elongate due to temperature increase more than...

Hi Jim, Hobbsy is very close with that fuel consumption figure, and on the safe side when you include taxiing, landing, slow touch-n-goes etc.

My FA200R3 is in a 68" Su31 which came with a...

Hi lopflyers,

I'm not sure that will solve your problem. Anyslight increase in pressure in the tank as you are filling will force fuel through the clunk to the carby. This can occur even if the...

Sorry Hobbsy, but that micrometer is reading 0.006" NOT 0.004" so the feeler gauge must betoo thick?

Hi Ken

If the engine is brand new, why is your friend buying new parts for it.

As JohnGilmore says, that could be a long list of expensive parts.
