RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I don't prime the engine either when using the starter, no chance of hydro locking an inverted engine if there is no fuel in it.

I used the chicken stick for a long time to start my Saito, but...

RE: Metal working...tips

Be careful cutting with the tool rotation. If you have any play or lash in a machine it will suck the cutter in. Cutting with the rotation is usually reserved for cnc machines with ballscrews.

RE: AeroWorks Edge 540T 46-60?

I've got a 42" slick and love it, but the edge has more 'character'. There is a thread somewhere on putting a Saito 82 on a 59" Slick, he boxed in the motor mount and a few other things. But says...

RE: AeroWorks Edge 540T 46-60?

I feel almost no play in the bearings, but I can see movement in the big end of the rod. To be safe I'd need to replace both. I'm going to try and return the motor first. If not I'll tear it all...

RE: AeroWorks Edge 540T 46-60?

Oh thanks for the heads up on that. Been thinking about converting the Saito 100 I've got on it now to gas, but didn't want to gain the weight. Now I have someplace I'd like the Saito, but dead...

I think I read the whole thread on the FG-20 here, and I don't recall anything either. I thought the hole was the same 1/4-28 as the glow version.

Not sure I want to loose the power either. ...

Can you slip the cowl back and get something on the drive? Maybe plug the exhaust with your finger for extra resistance?
