Default saitio 72 backfire


Absolutely Bird...

Saito specifies no more than 4,000 rpm for the first 40 minutes of operation. Gonna have to be mighty rich to do that.

All the extra fuel/oil is unburned, and has the benefit ofproviding a surplus of oil and carrying away excess heat created by new as-yet-unmated parts working themselves together.

Also...lay off the prop for the break in. If 13-6 is the anticipated flying prop....back off to a 12-6 for break in.

Good Luck! Enjoy the engine!
