RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
W8YE,
Thanks for that update... I just thought of something... did you happen to disassemble the engine? If not, I'm wondering if you encountered something that happened to me. I bought a 120 Single from a friend. It sat around for quite a while but was in good shape except for the lower crankcase housing, which I replaced. In the process of doing that, I noticed that the pushrods were very sticky. It took a lot of work to free them up - nothing difficult, just time consuming. I'm wondering if this could be happening to your 72 as well? Just a thought,
Bob
