When converting an engine that ran on glow, what is the suggested fuel/oil ratio? Normal gas engine is 32:1 up to 50:1. These engines have bushings for their rods and need more oil, but how much.

The factory GAS Saito's run a 20:1 mix (5%). I don't know if the rod is modified.

The Saito FG-36 has a bronze bushing on the crankshaft end of the rod. The others are unbushed and run aluminum on the steel crankpin. Saito now recommends 20:1 ratio and that is the mix I run.

With rcexl And other treick is better than factory FG 36



for converted engines, the real Secret is the oil (not mix , kind of oil)
