Replacement FG-36 Hall Sensor

I should clarify that it is not an RCEXL/CH Ignitions type Hall sensor. In order to use an RCEXL sensor the engine would need to be re-timed and the prop hub would require machining the proper...

RE: GAS Saito

Had another thought, (that's two in one night, I better slow down), could be the ignition is faulty and not auto-advancing. I have no idea what the advance amount is on these ignitions but it would...

I have an FG-36 I bought when they first came out, probably has a couple hundred flights on it. I could not get close to the rpm claimed which was 8500 on an 18 x 8 APC. I was using a standard blade...

RE: GAS Saito

Not a response as such, I have been running the FG-36 since it first came out on a 15 lb Pac Aero Model Gee Bee "Y". I have tried a number of different size and pitch APC props from 18 x 8 to 20 x...

RE: GAS Saito

Inverted or right side, it makes no difference. All four cycle engines must have a system to eliminate pressure build up in the crankcase. Older cars had a breather tube down the side of the engine,...

RE: GAS Saito

Exactly Mike, normally you would just have a length of tubing from the breather nipple out the bottom of the cowl on any four-stroke in order to relieve the build up of blow-by pressure in the...

I assume you're talking about the oil catch tank? The back plate breather nipple is connected to the tube that extends down into the bottom of the tank and has a short piece of tubing on...

RE: GAS Saito

Hi Mike,

I have never run the engine upright except for initial break-in (about an hour) so I don't know if this is an issue in that orientation. I did get a great deal of very black oil out the...

RE: GAS Saito

Hey Mike,

The oil is being drawn down the intake valve stem by the difference in pressure between the rocker box and the lower pressure in the combustion chamber on the intake stroke. It goes...
