Hello All-

Prepping to run a Saito .82 this weekend, going to charge field battery/glow battery/receiver battery this week, attempt to run the engine this weekend. The engine has been in storage for roughly 2 years, and has not had many flights on it (less than a full gallon of fuel through it).

Aside from running rich, do you guys have any suggestions for making this as easy as possible? What would be a good needle setting to shoot for? The prop is a 14x4 Ibelieve, I will not be taking the plane off of the ground, just a static engine run.

Thanks

Use a peice of fuel tubing to draw a good shot of afterrun oil in the crankcase vent, pull off the valve covers (one at a time) use the manual to check the vavlegap and shoot some oil down the pushrod tubes and oil the rockers,valve springs.last pull theglow anddrop some oil in the cylinder and crankit over a few times. dont worry its a saito haha

During your run-up have a fuel tubing attached to the crankcase vent to channel oil residue away from your engine stand/airplane. The engine gets quite drippy/oily with oil otherwise.

Thanks guys, Think I'm going to go with the needle open to about 2 1/2 - 3 turns, get it to peak, back it down a few hundred rpms, and run it there on the high end.  Where is the low end idle adjustment on this engine?  Its not in front of me and I can't remember, been a while...
