Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !


ORIGINAL: Kostas1

Guys i need help....
my new SAITO FA-150
does not have in the HS needle valve the usual feel....
something is missing...when i turn the needle valve in/out
i don't get the 'tik-tik' sound......
what am i doing wrong ?
Kostas1, You said your "new" engine has something missing. Is this engine purchased new or did you purchase it from a previous owner?
The pictures you sent showed some marks around the carb screws that lead us to question this engine, and the missing spring clip provides further evidence that something happened to this engine before you acquired it, perhaps a crash of some kind....?

Do you know the seller of this engine? Do you trust them? Hopefully this engine was not sold to you as "new in box"!

I would question the seller about the history of the engine and do a thorough check of the engine before you attempt to start it.
