And for the record, I do not claim to know everything and never have said I did.

Your close but it was not a design flaw but in the carburetor they used for this engine. They used the same carburetor as that supplied on the 1.8FS.

I'd call that a design flaw. I do remember SrTelemaster150 talking about the carburetors on those big Saitos but didn't recall the specifics.

For the record I use a "Sullivan on-board Glow Driver" it can be used for engine start and set to come on automatically based on throttle position.

I can't turn in the card.............my wife's got it. How about we compromise and I join " On-Board Glow Drivers Anonymous"? But seriously thanks everyone for the input. I have leaned a lot from this site over the years.

Eddy, you don't have to compromise since it's a hobby. At one time the big ongoing topic on RCU was about how many members used onboard glow. I remember it well.
