Satio 150 compresson problems
Hey all. some help please
My Satio 150 has less than a gallon through it. Two weeks ago I had a sudden stoppage on a nosed over takeoff. Lots of dust and dirt in the cowling of the Ryan STA. Tried to start the engine and no compression.
Got to the valves loosened them up and reset them to0.002+ in. Now i have intermittent compression. On a hand flip good. hit it with the starter and I end up with blow by.
Any clues as to why the valves aren't seating all the time?
TIA from OKC :stupid:

Happens to mine a lot! You need to get fuel in the cylinders. Check the needle seat. Is engine upsidedown? It happens a lot when they are. Keep working at it and get it broken in. Dust and dirt will destroy your engine do your brakins at home in your driveway where there is no temptation to fly!!!! Just work on the engine!!!
