RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks, w8ye. Saito's are fun to work on. Who knows, maybe an opportunity to have fun and make a couple of bucks too?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

This seems extremely unlikely, but.... could the valve timing be off? The Saito 91 that I'm currently rebuilding would not pull fuel into the carb even though I used an electric starter. Once I...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I mounted a Saito 72 inverted in one of my planes and had nothing but trouble. Hydro-locking, rough idle, etc. After I installed a Cline regulator it ran great! The tank was a tad too high in...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

That makes sense to me that the chamfer would be oriented toward the crank (as you said). It looks like there is a small radius where the crank journal attaches to the counter weight and the chamfer...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks Boogermancan. I got the cam assembly reinstalled and valve timing set. Now just waiting for my new ring and connecting rod to show up. Maybe even have installed on my WM Super Chipmunk for...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Well I got the new bearings installed in the FA-91S! I used to rebuild cooling turbines for F14's many years ago so I thought I'd try something that we used to do for pressing turbine wheels onto...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

w8ye,

The bearings for the FA-91S just arrived! I used my puller to remove the prop drive washer. Removed the cam assembly. What temperature should I set the oven at for bearing removal? Any...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

blw,

Your point is well taken. I'm not sure what I can do from here. I could post a formal complaint on RCU and try to get him to make it right, but then the transaction is in limbo waiting...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

w8ye,

Thanks. I may be posting if I get into trouble. BTW, and FWIW, the guy who sold me the engine posted an updated rebuttal and claimed to know nothing about the valve mis-timing or any of...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

w8ye,

You're right about that. I think the feedback I gave was sufficient to let the community know that they should exercise caution when dealing with him. Nothing is accomplished by...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Ed,

No offense taken. As I mentioned previously, I couldn't get the engine started and I noticed that there didn't seem to be much compression. I immediately contacted him to ask about it and...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I did, in fact give him the poor rating he deserved. Thank you for the bearing link and address for the replacement ring. From your suggestion about replacing the bearings I take that you think the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

One more pic: The one with the curved pipe came on the engine in question. The one with the straight pipe is from a brand new FA-91S. Can I run the curved pipe on the new engine? I need to modify...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hello Club Saito. I need help in figuring out what is going on with a Saito FA-91S I bought on RCU. I was told by the seller that the engine was "in very good condition, never been in a crash and...
