i just got a saito fa-90t mkII, how can i identify that in fact this is the model of that engine? also i need please to know how can i get the manual for the saito fa-90t mkII ? please.
i see in the engine the dual holes in the carb sistem, but when moving the mechanism that opens and closes, i can't see the barndoors opening and closing in the opening; any information?
thanks for sharing information.

RE: saito question please:
 

Are you watching the reed valves?  They will open with engine vacuum on the intake stroke.

In every engine i have, i can see in the carb the throtle openibg snd closing, in this twin i dont see anything opening or clossing;any ideas?

RE: saito question please:
 

Sorry, this engine does not have reed valves or throttle plate. I was thinking this was a gas engine. See my pm.

You mean the spray bar does not move?

RE: saito question please:
 

The FA90 MkII is a twin engine that came out in the early 80's. Excellent engine. PM me your address and I'll send you a copy of the instruction sheet.

It has a dual carb and you must set both cylinders. Not hard to do but it takes a touch. Same with the air bleed idle. Great engine. I run mine on 10% nitro and a 14x6 prop.

There are no reed valves or anything like that. There are two standard airbleed carbs in one aluminum block. You can't see the rotor turn as there is a 90 degree bend or turn in the airflow.

RE: saito question please:
 

Instructions are on the way. I also included instruction sheet on how to set the carb. No charge.

RE: saito question please:
 

Did the instructions get there yet?

RE: saito question please:

RE: saito question please:

Rcu members like fordman1 that are always willing to share knowledge with other rcu members is one of the things that make this site great.
