Notification about treatment of 4-stroke model gas-engine
◎Since valve timing is designed to get high power and high speed, the overlap range is relatively wide. So sometimes fuel get flown
back from the carburetor. (It may spatter in the engine room.)
◎Since the oil for lubrication is mixed in the fuel, waste oil from the breather nipple is dirty. Depending on treatment of waste oil, it
can be spattered on the plane.
◎Since lubrication is through breather, sometimes the oil oozes from each joint or commissure however it s no problem on performance.
◎Depending on the quality of the oil, sometimes there can be rust inside the crankcase. But it s no problem on performance as long
as there are no abnormal noise or backlash.

Summary of Contents for Saito FG-84R3

  • Page 1 SAITO FG-84R3 is the gas-version of existing glow FA-450R3 with bore up. This new designed gas-engine is a figure of integra- tion of many experiences on our radial engines and gas-engines. Additional designs concentrate on durability and high power brought it powerful and beautiful radial sound.
  • Page 2 2. Fuel The fuel is mixture of commercial regular gasoline and reliable oil for 2-stroke. (Unleaded high-octane gasoline is not necessarily required for SAITO engine.) [Example of oil] ・ POWER LUBE (KLOTZ ORIGINAL TECHNIPLATE) View from the rear Fig.2...
  • Page 3 *The unit includes a plastic clip to hold the connectors and spiral tube to protect each wire. The ignition system is designed to match SAITO 4-stroke gas-engines with automatic advancing system. However this ignition system is designed to be an anti-noise product, please isolate it completely from the receiver, servo, and battery to avoid a radio-interference trouble.
  • Page 4 8. Engine mounting, muffler attachment, and breather waste disposal FG-84R3 can be installed with mount spacers. As the carb comes out from back of the firewall, Firewall hollow out the firewall as possible as minimum referring to the cutting sheet included.
  • Page 5 (3) Refill the tank and run the engine with the main needle to achieve peak and less speed (richer) alternately about 5 times. And then maintain the peak condition long gradually. When it gets stable, then operate the throttle stick to vary slow speed to high speed several times to check the response.
  • Page 6 (f) Finally do the same adjustment for #2 cylinder. * In the case of the engines for vehicle, small gap is given to tappets to absorb valve elongation. However for SAITO engines, gap becomes larger during operations due to thermal expansion of the cylinder (made of aluminum). Therefore set the gap indefinitely close to zero when the engine is cold.
