LHS is about how the GSP staff is described. His knowledge doesn't extend past OFF ROAD TRUCKS. I had a problem with him when he couldn't acquire an H9 cub that he assured me would be in his shop in 4 days. He didn't mind taking my money and seemed peeved at me when I checked by the shop asking about my plane only to hear him say it'll be here for sure tomorrow -- that is on the days he even opened the shop! This went on a for a month and wasted a lot of my time. I was nice about it the whole time yet he was PO'd when I finally just asked for my money back. I try to avoid Stampy's now if I can. I can certainly understand having personal support in getting started in this hobby but Stampy 'aint it! I digress.

Don't know where else to go with this Saito. All research on here suggests it's the engine to buy, but I can't imagine anything being any worse to get running.

Anyway, I replaced the McCoy plug with a Saito #F and didn't help the situation. Got the hrottle all over the place trying to get it running. Same with the mixture setting. Brand new jug of Byron 15% Nitro -- about 8oz ($1) on the basement floor, apparently running out the bottom of the carb. I guess this is normal? I don't know what would keep fuel from running out the bottom of an open ended carburetor do you? I had the engine mounted where the mount was underneath the engine so I didn't see the bottom end of the carb before. It's definitely open...


No local hobbyists in my area of Charlottesville Va, that I know of... Any ideas on what to try next??
