RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Mr. Robison- Got a good one for you.
Brand new, straight out of the box .91 Saito; bolted up to the plane (Bristol monoplane, not that it matters), on a work stand, getting ready to fire it up for 1st time and start break-in. 13-8 MA prop.
Glow charger is good. Attached to engine. Fuel tank is full, correctly connected, pressure tap from exhaust also correctly connected. Needle out two full turns.
Spin engine with electric starter, it immediately fires, but makes little power, spitting mass quantities of fuel back through carb. Sounds like it is running backwards, but it is not. Engine is set at half throttle.
I left out one detail, it would tell you what is wrong. Can you guess? I'll tell you later, but you'll probably know what the problem is, but not why. Ken, Memba Numba 2
