Default RE: Weird Saito 82a behavior.... 4-Stroke gurus, Help please.

the one thing that nobody has mentioned is that engines do not respond linearly to throttle position of the barrel. there major rpm pickup is in the low end and the rate of rpm increase decreases the more the thottle is opened until you reach wot. with my setup I usually program a throttle curve into the engine so that it simulates linear engine response. and yes my engine hits its maximum rpms at the top and idles good at the bottom
