Angry with saito 100!
Hello. I have a saito 100, and the engine is driving me crazy. I sent it in to get new bearings, and the guy who worked on it made some other adjustments also. He said he ran it and it ran fine, and I used the engine for the rest of the season.
I took the engine off, and mounted it to another airplane, not touching the needle settings. Its mounted sideways with a slimline pitts muffler. Now I go to run the engine and I have these problems:
1) Won't get max RPM unless 3 turns out (Was getting max at 2.25 turns out last year) (14x8 prop and 860 ft elevation)
2) Wheni bring the throttle from High to low speed, the engine RPM stays up for a few seconds before coming down to full idle
3) The engine runs no different at 5 turns out on high speed as it does 3 turns out, its not running any richer or anything.
I just had the engine sent it, and now its acting up again!
Anyone have anyidea what could be the potential problem ( besides the guy tuning it)
Thanks
Jason
