IMHO, the club "expert(s)' are not experts. Saito's are as good or better than anything else out there. As Hobbsy points out, it could be overprimed. The solution will be simple. Stick with the Saito. As long as it hasn't been modified or misadjusted, it's a great engine. I love mine. Wouldn't trade 'em. Got a .56, .82, and a 1.20
