I had a “squirrel!” moment and decided I need a Saito 125 for a future build. So I bought one used and of course that’s always a gamble. The engine itself looks good, is smooth with massive compression but I now think it’s been rebuilt. I asked the previous owner about this, he claims it has not and is now getting defensive about it. The drive hub has puller marks on it and the carb looks messed with. So now I have to go through it and make sure everything is how it should be.
So my questions are 1) the hs needle valve looks brand new so does it look like the correct one? 2) should there be a spring in this carb? The throttle barrel has a little play and the retaining bolt shows wear on the end. 3) the cat eye on the spray bar is oriented towards the air intake, not the intake tube. Is this correct?
Thanks guys!
