Default RE: Excessive smoking on Saito 100

Guitarman52, I've had 6 Saitos. They all smoke a bit. I am talking about as I'm walking the plane out and goose the throttle, a column
of smoke as tall as me and and two feet wide.. It looks like an oversized toy train. The amount is about like two Saito 125's running together.And as I said ,it seems to have no bearing on performance.And the HSN is only open 3/4 of a turn from closed. I can never remember having that small amout on any engine I've ever owned.All the other Saitos HSN are at least 1-1/2 turn from closed.
 Mr67Stang,no it doesn't reduce. It stays the same..Makes a great smoke trail in the air for all to see..lol. Hot or cold, slow and fast.. It stays the same.
 Hobbsy, I tried the LSN... dies if leaned out any more. Thanks Guys. May just have to live with it or take it apart and look for a broken ring. TJ
