I've been so out of touch the last 16 years I have no idea what's different between Saito's now a days. As far as I remember this is just a good Saito new in 1994 and is still new... not a single drop of fuel..
is this the big cam high compression one?
I havent kept up over the years on purpose, i just depressed me - lol
I cant believe the proliferation of ARF's and electric!!!
does that make me "old school" :\

I think I managed to round up most of them... cant seem to find the other 65GK and my os70's but, I'm pretty darn happy I found the 1.20GK and the 91GK as well as some misc 2 cycles.
I picked up an os 70 surpass from the swap shop here so I'm happy there.
The 1.20 spins like new! it's dirty but not near as bad as my Enya 46? (cant hardly see the engine through the "stuff" baked on.
It must have been insulated by debris like our photo albums where
this makes me very happy as I have a brand new Byrons su-26 slated for it.
The .91GK is stuck, so I'll focus on that one as soon as I finish the shop.
.60 size is my style so I'll be working hard to get this one up and running.
going back to the buy/sell thing and see what else I can find now

back in the day FOX and K&B with some Rossi (thrown in for good measure) glow plugs where the norm. Seems like everyone and there brother are making them now.
I use to run mainly K&B's with idle bars and have enough left over to use them up in my .65 sportsters
Question is:
whats the best choice for OS and Saito 4-cycles now a days?
Hanger 9 or OS type F maybe?
Gawd I feel like such a noob!
