Default Hi Dave, Hi Charley

Dave, thanks for your information. I will get with Terry at CH and see if he can shed some light on the subject. The carb change looks like a challenge on the saito, but I can see where it would probably be sized about right for a 1.50 or 1.80 Saito on gas.


Charley, Thanks for your information. How did you decide on the 16:1 gas/oil mixture? Where did you find your spark plug? All of the spark plugs I know about are huge compared to a glow plug. I was concerned about the the compression ratio of the glow engines bieng a problem on gas, apparently yours and Dave's have worked fine with out changing the c/r.

Have both of you run your engines long enough to know that they are lubricating components properly? I sure would hate to destroy one of these costly beauties. Do they still make good power? I could imagine that they would lose some power by taking the nitro away.

Thanks again guys for your responses.
