The Saito 50 through 100 all use the same camfollowers as the 50. There is no revision letter to these tappets from the beginning.

Enjoy,

Jim

Correct. When compared to a plain cylindric tappet.

Status: offline 		Rupurt: I take the Kavan and a model Hit & miss engine to oldtime engine shows. I run the Kavan ...showing how easy to start and how smooth they run. I get more people wanting to see the Model Continental AirCraft engine run than the hit & miss. You should see the big smile a true engine lover gets when the Kavan fires up. I only run it for a min or 2 at a time and never go full RPM. I do have plans to put it in a J-3 Cub some day. Or a Fly-Baby mono. Capt,n

Status: offline 		My engine finally arrived yesterday, I have mounted it to the plane. Today I fired it up, I think i made the right choice.
I will take it down to the field tomorrow and continue running it in. Thanks again for all the advice.

Status: online 		The ASP/Magnum/SC 160 has a twin needle carb with a low speed mixture screw in the center of the throttle arm.

The OS 120/160 has an airbleed carb only with a idle airbleed adjustment.

Enjoy,

Jim
