This is the skinny from the break in of the 1.25 on Jan. 01 2006

I did the break in on the Saito 1.25 today, it took one hour and five minutes and consumed 32 oz of fuel. I started with the HS needle at 3.5 turns out from closed, the LS needle where it was shipped.
Prop--- Master Airscrew 16x6 Classic
Fuel--WildCat 10% Premium Extra
Plug--Stock, it looks like an OS-f
Temperature 40 degrees F
I did the usual 10 minutes at 4,000 rpm, actually 20, I went in the house to get the camera and the Missus wanted a sandwich. I then set the throttle at 5,000 for 20 minutes and then 6,500 for 20 minutes and took the high speed reading, I took the idle reading about 2 minutes before it ran out of fuel. There is a shaky spot about 3,200 rpm accompanied by smoke, the LS needle is 1.25 turns in from factory and can be leaned some more, the HS needle is at 2.375 turns out from closed for the High speed reading. It started on the first backflip and never offered to quit.
