Status: offline 		Thanks Tom. I'm going to try that and see where it goes. It either will begin to idle correctly or need more adjustment ....will also follow directions in the manual. All they say is'preadjusted at the factory' but that's not always so after the engine has traded hands a few times and tweaked.

Status: offline 		If you peak the top end (HS) needle for max rpm with a tach, and then lower the speed to wherever it will idle and quickly open the throttle. If it transitions cleanly, it's not too lean. If it doesn't transition, it may be lean. Having the low speed flush with the metal arm, or 1-2 mm in with the plastic arm is a good, rich starting point usually. the key is to peak the high end befor you mess with the low. Once peaked, lean the low speed 1/8th to 1/4 turn at a time untill it hesitates or dies on transition. Once that happens, your too lean and you need to richen by 1/8th turn. With a cline regulator my 1.80 will idle all day at 1800, but without would only be reliable at about 2100. It's still new.

Status: offline 		blw,

Thanks !! and with that I just purchased a 1.25 !! The familly is growing. I actually purchased the 100 for something else and didn't use it yet. I ran it on a friends plane and it would turn a 15x6 MA 9450 rpms. I just picked up a Frenzy and the 1.25 , hope to have them set up shortly.

Andy

Status: offline 		I just broke in a Saito 150. The low speed screw was flush with the arm. I had to turn it out(rich) 2 1/2 turns so it would run. With it flush, it would only run at 1/2 throttle and above and was very lean. It is the only Saito I have that had to be turned out this far. I am hoping this is normal. I own 5 Saito's. I have a 180, 150, 125, and 2-82's. I would also like to join the club!!

I like the .72 , except when I flooded the engine and cracked my finger !! Well , I re-adjusted the low end, getting a pretty steady 2200 rpm's . Its on a Nitro models Yak 54 , weighs in @ 6 lbs 2oz , should fly rather nice. I replaced a Magnum 70 with the 72 and am very happy with the results. I'm running 20/20 , but I think it ran just fine on 10% Omega. I'm going to try both , if the 10% works out , I'm going to go back to it after the 20/20 is gone.

By the way...thanks to good advice here my Saito .72 is running like a clock with good trasistion from low to high rpm's. Thanks to all and I hope this helps others who get in this situation. I wo
