RE: Why do Saito engines squeak?

lol.... yeah.

It is what it is. I forgot I even owned it, or the plane for that matter, until this 4 year old thread popped up.... That's just the sad truth of the matter. And I don't get mad...

RE: Why do Saito engines squeak?

Wow, I got a few updates on this thread today. I haven't logged in for a while. I totally forgot about this thread. Somebody must have a squeaking Saito... and done a search. ;)

Interestingly, I...

RE: Hobby Warehouse (Sky Hobbies) Closing

Any more updates?

Is it just Eagan now, or, has it been split into 2 separate entities, and both HW, and SH will be open??

Map Quest just told me it's... ...35 Miles to the Eagan store......

RE: ys engine surging at full throttle

Surging at high power on a YS is almost always an air leak. I can hear it a mile away. Pressurized air/fuel mixture building and bleeding off. It doesn't really go lean as it leaks air and fuel, it...

RE: Why do Saito engines squeak?

....Like a steam whistle.

Interesting thought. The 300 has the check valve in the fitting's line too, thus keeping the air always going out. Having 2 cylinders pumping air, that might explain...

Why do Saito engines squeak?

Why has every single Saito engine I've ever owned chirp and squeak at low engine RPMs?

When I only had one Saito, I thought it was probably an airflow deal, or whistling type of a squeak that...

RE: ys 140 limited

"All the way in", sounds drastic. Check the diaphram and plunger for sure. But the springs are not all the same, even new. THere are at least 2 differnt springs as well. Someone could have swapped...

RE: Saito 300 Twin Carb/Plug Set-up Question..

I am getting really close now, and I have some interesting data now, and more revealing video, but it will take a bit to get my ducks in a row to share.

RE: Great Fuel Efficiency Bakeoffs - Saito 100 versus YS 110

The YS can do MUCH MORE work. That is because it CAN burn twice the fuel and move twice the air through it at WOT! It just wasn't being worked during the test! It was coasting!

Actually, I am...

RE: Great Fuel Efficiency Bakeoffs - Saito 100 versus YS 110

I think it's great. Always fun to experiment.

I think it was said early on though, as that was my thoughts right off. The YS may be operating at the same RPM, but not at the same throttle...

I think you are confused on my last drawing (It ain't perfect, it was a quick rendering, lol) . The top half, would be with muffler pressure. The pressue is always above atmospheric, so there is no...

I think you are misunderstanding a header tank's purpose. Fooling the engine into thinking the tank is closer to the engine is not the object of a header tank at all. The object of a header tank is...

RE: Saito 300 Twin Carb/Plug Set-up Question..

Thanks for the links guys!

It is improving greatly.

RE: Saito 300 Twin Carb/Plug Set-up Question..

Yep. That is what they do.

That is why I am relating it to a YS as well. They are using a YS style check valve on the crank case vent, and a check ball in the other CC vent. One lets air into...

RE: Saito 300 Twin Carb/Plug Set-up Question..

The crank case pressure is the only fuel pump on this engine, so elimintating it, gets rid of the pump altogether.

According to the math, if this thing can eat 3 ounces a minute, then it can go...
