Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Well, got my Saito 100 running with the new bearings. Seems to run fine, but sure seems a bit weak compared to the rpm readings in the tachometer section. I broke it in 3 tanks on Morgan 15%, which is 18% synth/castor blend, I believe. Took some rpm readings on the 3rd tank; it's only spinning an APC 15x6 about 8100-8300. Ran another tank thru it today at lunch, and tried first a Xoar 14x6 and got about 9000; then an APC 15x4w and got about 9000-9100. Doesn't seem any stronger than my .82 at this point. Idle is good; can get it down to about 2200 steady, with good response to quick throttle advance. Hoping it breaks in further; also have some Byron 20/20 that I use in my .82 to try also...
