Saito 100T RPM's
I'm reading about 8550 rpm on my 100T using a 14-6 MAS wood and 15/18 Wildcat fuel. Can anyone tell me if these readings arereasonable for this prop fuel combo?

RE: Saito 100T RPM's
Wow that seems really fast! After I ran my motor I took if off the stand and decided to check the valve clearance and found that there wasn't any.
Couldn't get a feeler gauge in at all. I guess I should have checked it BEFORE I ran it! Anyway I set the clearance to about .003. I'm hoping to get a little higher RPM.

RE: Saito 100T RPM's
Just got the 100T off of the test stand after adjustingthe valve lash to .003. With 10/18 fuel and a 14X6 MAS wood I'm getting a peak tach reading of 9000 or just a titch over. I can live with that number better than the 8500 I was getting before.
