I am ready to purchase my first 4-cycle engine and I am considering:OS FS-70 II; YS 63 FZ;or Saito FA-80. I would appreciate your comments on the pros and cons for each of these engines.
OS...reliable but pricey...kinda heavy.

YS...powerful but REAL pricey...a little heavier, too.

Saito...powerful and pricey, but light.

The Saito would be my first choice. It does take a while on the bench, if you are inclined to bench run an engine, to get it properly broke-in. After that it is virtually flawless in its operation for many years if properly maintained.

...NOW, go buy what you gotta go buy...the choice is yours!
