• What oil to gasoline mixture ratio should I use for Saito engines?

  For Saito gasoline engines, the recommended fuel mixture is regular or high-octane gasoline mixed with high-quality 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 15:1 to 20:1. A 15:1 ratio is strictly recommended during the break-in process.

• How often should I check the valve clearance (tappet gap)?

  Valve clearance should be checked and adjusted after the initial break-in and subsequently every 2 hours of operation. This adjustment must be performed while the engine is cold.

• What spark plug is recommended for Saito gasoline engines?

  Most Saito gasoline engines (such as the FG series) use the CM-6 spark plug. Refer to your specific engine manual for confirmation.

• How should I break in my new Saito engine?

  The break-in process typically involves running the engine with a rich fuel mixture (15:1 ratio) for approximately 1 liter of fuel. The main needle should be opened approximately 3 turns from fully closed, and the engine should not be run lean during this phase.

• Can I use ethanol-blended gasoline in my Saito engine?

  No, it is recommended to avoid using gasoline containing ethanol. Ethanol can cause power loss and lead to corrosion inside the engine components.
