RE: saito rebuild?
XJet - W8ye...
I may just try running this with no muffler on the test stand. I’m sure it’s still a lot quieter than many of the big gassers and 2 strokes at our field. I do like the sound of the muffler, but we’ll see if I like it more than the custom $117 muffler option.
Amazingly I was able to strip the jug clean of valves and seals within a few minutes. This is the first Saito I’ve taken apart and I am continually captivated with the mechanics of these motors. I like the idea of changing the jug and also putting some new valve springs and maybe a new exhaust valve, too.
Thanks again!
