Maybe I should post this else where, but I'm running what most are here. Saito 100, inverted, cline reg., OS F plug, Cool Power 30%. My problem, is the motor likes to kick back at startup, and spinning the prop nut loose. I've read EVERY thread I can find on this motor, and have tried, and set everything. This is my first glow plane, and there is no one locally that runs Saito to help me.

What seems to help, is spinning it over with the throttle open, to get rid of excess fuel. I then try starting it by flipping it backwards. If it doesn't start, then I hit it with the starter. It will still kick back sometimes flipping it backwards, or when I use the starter.

The motor runs great, good power, tachs a 16x4W arround 9500. I use a tach on the high end. I peak it, and can hear it lean out, but the needle seems not to react when I back it off. To drop it 300 rpm, takes alot, so I have been just going a 1/4 turn. Low end is about 2 1/2 turns in, but again, to idle under 2700, seems unreliable.

Rookie looking for help! Thanxs!
