With no vent the crank case pressure will rise to the point that there is no amount of oil getting past the ring. In other words, yes, the plugged vent could have given you a problem.

#60 here,
I have my Saito82 mounted side winder in an acrowot, the exhust looks very vulnerable to catching the ground if I nose over, could be a very costly repair. Does anyone do a shorter header pipe?
By the way this engine is great, still running rich as it sucked a 14oz tank dry in just under 10 mins, and when I say dry I mean every last drop. Not many engines can do that!

Leigh.


a340, ive had my header hit the dirt twice and bent it a little each time and didnt cost any, i just cut it at the bend and cleaned up the threads a little and it worked great,i like them a little shorter anyway

Status: offline 		Cheers William, gjeffers,
I was a bit worried that it would damage the head/barrel. I may take gjeffers sugestion and cut the pipe down a bit. If I wanted to extend the thread a bit do u think just running a 12mm die down the pipe would work?

Sorry, I (and I suppose Gary) assumed you had the later exhaust, the straight pipe that is threaded full length. Talking about extending the thread, yours must be the curved pipe.

So long as you have a really food quality 12 mm die with a 1.0 mm pitch you should be able to cut more threads on it, but be careful and use a good cutting oil. The pipes are very hard, a "Harbor Freight" die will probably break before it cuts anything.

You might do better getting the SAI8075B straight 12 mm pipe for $9.75, it's long enough that if you cut it in half both pieces will be long enough to mount the muffler. If yours is the cast muffler you can still rotate it out of the way.

Bill.

sorry for not explaining myself properly .It is the curved pipe and what looks like a 2 piece cast muffeler.
Thanks again for the advice,
Leigh.

Status: offline 		Hi all,
I just acquired a Saito 90T Mark II. It's sufficiently different from the 90TS that the TS manual isn't of great help. Does anyone have a 90T manual they'd be willing to photocopy for me (I'd reimburse and pay shipping)?
