Funny you should mention that as Saito has discontinued almost all of there large multi-cylinder glow engines.
While I hate glow plugs, I am a proponent of CDI/methanol conversions. CDI W/methanol/nitro will gain you 20-25% power over gas W/O most of the drawbacks of GI. (glow ignition) It will produce slightly more power than a full GI conversion & use 20% less fuel doing it. The idlle, starting & overall user freindliness of "gas" will still be there.
Whereas I used to purchase Saito glow engines & convert them to CDI/glow fuel W/CH Igntions CDI conversions., it looks like I'll have to pay their hi-way robbery prices for FG "gas" engines & convert them to methanol use W/glow fuel carburetors.
