RE: Engine overheating??
Standard checks
mixture too lean
air getting into pipes
if you have it in a cowl is there any baffles in the cowl to direct the air around the engine AND sump.
is there an exit from the cowl for the hot air

Could a bad glow plug cause a Saito 100 to overheat??
Thanks

The wrong heat range plug could cause hot running.

RE: Engine overheating??
The engine is on a plane that has been flown for about 2 years. Same cowl, cooling never a problem. 15x14w apc prop, OS plug, 30% CoolPower fuel. Checked all the bolts on the engine, and the fuel lines. Tried a new gallon of fuel. Richened the needle valve. Could it be the bearings??
Thanks,
Larry

If it ran OK in the past, you may have a bad bearing?
