Moving from Omega to Cool Power for a Saito 72 - 8/5/2002 2:07:19 AM

Status: offline 		I have run only 1-1/2" gallons of Omega 4 Stroke through my Saito 72 but I was wondering what effect I should expect if I changed the fuel to Cool Power for 4-strokes? Would using Cool Power fuel actually cool down my engine?

Another question, the muffler on my 72 has carbonised (sp?) on the outside - in other words, it has brown deposits on it . What causes this to happen? And how can I prevent it from happening?

I am going to be breaking-in my Saito 100 shortly. Any advice regarding the break-in fuel?

Thanks

This is the case when using low grade AA & AAA castors. Klotz makes a castor oil called Benol which is a degummed racing castor that does not have this characteristic. Wildcat makes an all synthetic 2 & 4 cycle fuel designed to work in both operations. We would be pleased to help.

Status: offline 		I have a 72 also and like Cool Power. It does run cooler and just seems to run alittle smoother on idle. I also have used Barons 15% nitro 4-stroke fuel and get good results also. My exhaust pipe is brown just like yours, but that does not mean the inside of your engine looks that way. I allways burn-off excess fuel after defueling the engine and put afterrun oil in the crankcase after each flying day.

It's good practice to burn off the fuel from your engine - 8/5/2002 3:29:56 AM

I do the same thing as you qm1usn. I think I will try the move to Cool Power and see how she goes.

Status: offline 		You can use the old crockpot method for tacking that varnish off.
Just put your muffler in an old crockpot filled with antifreeze and set the temp on low and let it sit for about 24 hours. WHen you take it out, you will have what looks like a brand new muffler except for the scratches that have come on overtime. I like to then flush it out with glow fuel and wipe it off.

I actually just did this with my saito 72 yesterday.

Status: offline 		I would sure take a look at Wildcat 15% 2 - 4 stroke fuel for your Saito. I have been running a dozen or so Saitos for several years on Wildcat and they are still super clean on the inside. Wildcat also has a slightly higher oil content (Klotz) than Cool Power and even lists it's contents on the label.

I have no relationship with Wildcat, but it runs so much better on my Saitos than the Morgan fuels that I won't use anything else. You can also use HobbytownUSA 2 - 4 stroke fuel as well since it's Wildcat in a 'house' label and costs a bit less. Try a gallon and check the performance after a tank or two... (just my 2 cents worth)
