RE: saito 100 wont idle
Yes, but the problem started @ the low end and then moved into the mid range. (the low end never got better). The high end seems to be ok, as it will stay running and responds well to adjustments to the high needle.
Using a ys plug, 15x6 apc prop, and fuel was a mixture of about 3/7 10%/20% (the 20% was some car fuel that I had left when I sold my car).
I have wondered if the fuel could be my problem. All of the fuel in my coctail was new fuel, but I know that car fuel has a higher oil content. Would that cause all that grief? I don't plan on using that ever again. I just used it because I wasn't able to drive 1 hr to my LHS and buy new stuff at the time. Do Saito's hate car fuel?

the 65 has a standard carb and NOT an air-bleed carb like you were referring to. The FA-30 has an air-bleed carb. Perhaps that is the one you were thinking of.
NEW engines require breaking in before the lowest idle can be obtained.
