Capiche 50
For those of you considering what engine to go in your capiche.........
Finally got the saito 72 for my Capiche 50 running when the rain finally stopped at 9.30 pm(!) last night.
I know when reviewers says this you think , "Yeah right!" but the Saito quite literally started the first time i turned it over with the glow plug fired. Its the first engine i have ever had thats done this.
After a few tanks i leaned it out and it throttled and idled really well. At the moments its a bit thirsty- it went through an 8 ounce tank at 1/3 throttle in 12 minutes, but this may change when its leaned out a bit.
The revs also drop a bit and sound more uneven when the glow plug starter is disconnected, but this should reduce when its run in hopefully.
My conclusion so far..............great engine!Very quiet at low revs.
