Re: Saito 125 problem

Re: Saito 125 problem
It is probably the bearings going bad. That is not uncommon for Saitos. They can be purchased from Boca and are pretty easy to change.

Re: Saito 125 problem
I agree with the others, could be a bearing...but the saito 125 is also known for poor lubrication to the cam gear. That thing will scream intermittently (and sound like a bad bearing). Horizon told me that if the plane isn't stored in a "nose down" position (so residual oil can run to the cam) that I should manually lubricate the cam gear "frequently"...whatever that means.
Just a thought. |
