1.

Remove the high speed needle(s)

(85) and flush out the spray bar with 
clean fuel. Replace the high speed 
needle(s) and follow the instructions 
in the carburetor adjustment section.

2.

Always use a high-quality 4-cycle 

glow plug. The Hangar 9/McCoy 
MC-4C is highly recommended.

Tips For Extended 

Engine Life

To add longer life to your Saito engine, 
we recommend the following:

1.

Use a fuel containing 20% 

lubricants.

2.

Use the recommended glow plugs.

3.

Use the proper propeller size and 

balance the propeller prior to use.

4.

Use a tachometer for precise 

engine adjustments.

5.

Use an“after-run”oil when you’re 

finished flying for the day.

6.

For long-term storage, make sure 

there is no fuel left in the tank and the 
engine. Remove the glow plug and 
apply several drops of high-quality 
oil (i.e., Marvel Air Tool Oil) to the 
top of the engine, down the pushrod 
tubes, and through the crankcase 
pressure vent if applicable. Rotate the 
crankshaft several times. Store the 
engine in the box or on the airplane 
with the nose down in order to keep 
oil in the bearings.

Troubleshooting

Generally speaking, there are very 
few things that will keep today’s 
modern glow engines from starting. 
To that end, make sure you’re using 
good quality“fresh”fuel, there are 
good glow plugs installed, and the 
starting battery is charged and in 
good condition. Should the engine 
fail to start after these items are 
verified, refer to the chart on the 
following page.
