Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a Saito 4
-
cycle engine. When cared for
properly, these high
-
quality, finely crafted engines offer many years of modeling enjoyment.
This instruction manual has been developed to ensure optimum performance from the Saito engine you have purchased. The instructions must be read through completely and
understood thoroughly prior to mounting and running the engine.
Safety lnstruct
ions
This model engine will give you considerable pleasure, satisfaction, and performance if you strictly follow these safety instructions and take heed of the warnings as
to
its safe and
proper use. Remember at all times
it
is
not
a
toy,
but a precision-built machine with more than enough power to cause harm if misused or if the safety precautions are not observed.
You
should
always:
1.
Mount the engine securely in a
“bench mount” or high-quality motor
mount. Never clamp the engine in a vice.
2.
When running the engine, be sure all spectators, especially children, are at least
20
feet away.
3.
Use the correct size and pitch of propeller for your engine; refer to the “Propeller Chart”
on
page
16
of
this manual.
4.
It is extremely important to balance the propeller prior to installation of the engine. Failure
to
do
so
may cause damage to the Saito engine and/or the airframe. Install the propeller with the convex (curved) side facing forward. Securely tighten the propeller nut against the washer and propeller.
An
anti-looaening nut (or “jam” nut) is
suggested for all 4-cycle engines.
5.
Inspect the tightness of the propeller
nut prior to each flight.
6.
Keep your face and body away from the path of the propeller blades when starting or running your engine.
7.
Never allow your hands
to
come
close
to
the propeller. Utilize either
a “chicken stick” or electric starter
to
start the engine.
8.
Discard any propeller that is nicked, scratched, cracked
or
damaged in any
way.
9.
Make all carburetor adjustments
from behind the propeller.
10.
To
stop
the engine, cut off the fuel supply (pinch or disconnect the fuel line
to
the carburetor) or use the
throttle linkage to shut off the air.

SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Do
not
use hands,
fingers,
or
any
other
part
of
the
body
to stop the propeller:
Do
not throw
any
object into
a
propeller to stop it.
It
is
highly
recommended
that:
Safety glasses or goggles be used when starting and running your engine.
You do not run the engine in the
vicinity of loose gravel or sand.
The propeller may throw such materials into your face and eyes. The engine may also ingest these harmful materials.
Loose clothing should be avoided when operating your model engine. Loose clothing may become entangled in the propeller, creating the possibility
of
bodily harm. Also, all loose objects (screwdrivers, pencils,
nickle
cadmium starters, etc.)
should be removed from your
pockets
so
that they do not fall
into the propeller.
away from the propeller.
well away from sparks, heat, or anything that can ignite the fuel.
Glow plug clips and cords are kept
Your glow fuel is kept in a safe place
Be
ware:
Model engines get very hot while running.
Do
not attempt to handle
them until they have cooled.
Always run your model engines in a
well-ventilated area. Similar
to
automotive engines, model engines produce possible harmful carbon monoxide fumes.
Remember that model engines produce a substantial amount of power, more than enough to seriously injure people and/or
do
considerable damage to property. Always use common sense, skill and constant observation of safety precautions.
Disassembly
Do
not
needlessly disassemble your Saito engine. Only qualified individuals should perform engine repairs. Damage due to improper disassembly will not be covered under
warranty. If it becomes necessary to repair the engine, such as after a crash, you can send your engine to the authorized service center at:

Engine Parts
ldent
if
ication
It is important to be able to identify the parts of your Saito engines. Attached you will find an exploded view of a Saito 4
-
stroke engine, as well as charts that include part numbers and descriptions. This will assist you in easily and rapidly identifying the
respective parts of your Saito engine.
Support
Equipment
The following item, which
are
not included
with your Saito engine,
are
necessary
in
order to
operate
the model engine:
1.
Fuel.
For maximum protection and longevity of Saito engines, Saito recommends a fuel containing 20% oil and 10
-
15%
nitro
methane. If
this
blend is not readily available, the next best selection is a high quality 2
-
cycle glow
fuel, such
as
Hangar 9 Aero-Blend,
Omega, Cool Power,
K&B, Power
Master, etc. Use
of
fuels composed
entirely of castor oil is
not
recommended.
A mix of synthetic
-
castor oil is acceptable and can be found in the various fuels described above.
2.
Propeller.
Refer to the "Propeller
Selection" chart, located on page 16, to
determine the best initial propeller for your particular application. Propellers should be balanced prior to use.
3.
Glow Plug Battery.
Your glow
plug may be properly heated by
several different sources. The Hangar
9
Power Panel (HAN106), when accompanied by a 12-volt Sealed Lead Acid Battery
(HAN102) and a Glow
Plug Locking Socket
(HAN120) is an
ideal source of heat for your glow
plug. A conventional 1.5
-
volt heavy
- duty dry cell battery with a Glow Plug Locking Socket (HAN120) or alligator clips may also be used. Additionally, there are several very good
glow-
starters (nickel cadmium-powered glow plug igniters) that work well.
4.
Glow Plug Wrench.
Used to remove and tighten glow plugs. The Hangar
9
Long Reach Plug Wrench
(HAN2510) is an excellent wrench to
utilize, as a longer shaft may be necessaq to access the glow plug.
This
depends
mostly upon engine installation.
5.
Manual
or
Electric Starter.
For manual starts, a "chicken stick" is highly recommended.
Never
use
your fingers to start any model engine.
To
do
so
invites injury. There are a
variety of electric starters on the
market. The Hangar
9
12V heavy-duty
Super Starter
(HAN110)
will work
perfectly on all Saito engines.
6.
Tachometer.
The use of a tachometer for setting the high-speed needle valve prior
to
flight is encouraged. It will also be helpful when setting the idle adjustment of the
carburetor(s).

STARTING THE ENGINE
Break
-
In
The first run
on
any engine, whether
2
-
cycle
or
4-cycle, is critical
to
the future of the engine itself. During this time, metal mating parts (piston and
cylinder, ball bearings, etc.) wear in. Care must be taken that the engine is clean and free of any dust
or
grit that may have accumulated while building the model.
There are two accepted methods for
breaking
in
a new engine: test stand mounted and run or aircraft mounted and run. Either method
is
acceptable;
however, mounting the engine
to
a test
stand allows the engine
to
be observed
throughout its operation, as well
as
elevating
it
above the ground and away
from harmful dust and dirt.
Note:
Because your engine may have
been sitting for
an
extended period of
time prior to running
it,
a few drops
of
light
oil
applied through the crankcase breather nipple (19 on the exploded view) and down the push-rod tubes (40) will ensure proper lubrication
for
the first
run.
Regardless
of
the mounting method
chosen for break-in,
the
following
procedures are applicable:
1.
Use of a fuel as described in
the
“Support Equipment” section
on
page 3 of
this manual for “break-in”
purposes
is
perfectly acceptable.
2.
Use the proper glow plugs. Your
engine includes the Saito
SS
SAIP
400S
or
(HAN3011)
super glow plugs, which are standard replacement glow plugs for these engines.
3.
To select the correct propeller, refer
to
the “Propeller Selection” chart on
page
16
of
this manual. Remember to
balance the propeller prior
to
use
4a.
For all
.30
to
.91
engines, ensure
that the high speed needle valve
(85)
is
opened (turned counter
-
clockwise) two
and
112
turns out. This guarantees a
very rich setting.
4b.
For
all
1
.OO
to
1
.80
engines, ensure
that the high speed needle valve
(85)
is
opened (turned counter-clockwise)
5
turns out. This guarantees a very rich
setting.
Do
not
adiust the
low-speed
needle
valve (89)at this time.
The
low-speed
needle valve
is
preadjusted
at the factory for initial break-in. Specific instructions for adjusting the idle
of
engines (FA-30S(H)) using an
“air-bleed’ type carburetor will be described in the section “Carburetor Adjustments
for Air
Bleed
Carburetors”
on
page
7.
5.
The use of a tachometer is highly
recommended since the adjustment
of
a 4-cycle engine, while similar
to
that
of a 2-cycle engine, is more difficult to
“set by ear,” making
it
much easier to
damage the engine by “over-leaning.”

1.
Make sure the glow
plug(s)
is/are
installed and tightened.
2.
Be sure the propeller is properly
secured. The use of an anti
-
loosening
nut, or “jam nut,” is encouraged
on
4-cycle engines.
3.
Make sure that the fuel tank line(s) are properly connected. The fuel pickup line should be connected to the carburetor spray bar
(84), and the vent
line should be connected
to
the
pressure nipple
on
the muffler. The proper “plumbing” of the lines is extremely important to the performance
of
any engine. Saito recommends the center of the tank be mounted approximately
5
mm
lower than the carburetor center.
4.
Be certain that the muffler
is
installed properly by oiling the threads prior
to
inserting the muffler into the cylinder head and that the pressure line is properly connected.
5.
Fill the fuel tank
6.
Prime the engine:
Check to make sure the glow plug is
not
connected

Open the throttle fully
Rotate the propeller in a counter
- clockwise direction 5 to 6 times while plugging the end
of
the muffler with your finger to draw fuel into the carburetor.
Note:
Saito single cylinder engines are now manufactured without the choke valve
(92).
Due
to
the excellent
fuel draw characteristics
of
the Saito engines, the use of the choke was determined not
to
be necessary.
7.
Start the engine:
Turn through the prop 2 to 3 times slowly to ensure that the engine is
not hydro-locked (see note below).
Note:
When using an electric starter, care should be taken to be sure the engine does not become
“hydro-
locked” (flooded with fuel). While the electric starter will turn the engine over, it may damage the connecting rod or other components. If the engine becomes hydro
-
locked, simply remove
the
glow plug and turn the engine over
a few times with the “chicken stick” or
electric starter. The excess fuel will be forced to exit the engine via the cylinder head.

electric starter, spin the propeller until the engine
is
running.
Note:
A
very common error is to remove the glow plug igniter too early. It is suggested that the igniter be left attached until after the engine has been run up and the high
-
speed needle valve
has been properly adjusted.
8.
Initial break-in:
Do
not
exceed
4,000
rpm for the first
10
minutes of operation; This allows
all
parts to mate properly with good
lubrication.
Note:
Due to the excessively "rich
" mixture setting, it may be necessary to leave the heat sourceattached
to
the
glow plug.
Subsequent runs may be made while slightly leaning out the mixture with
each tank full of fuel. Forty minutes is
considered sufficient time for normal break
-
in prior to the first flight.
9.
After break-in:
If a test stand was used for the break-in procedure, the engine may now be mounted in the aircraft using a
high-
quality motor mount such
as
those available from Saito specifically or for Saito engines.
The idle needle valve
(89)
(or air bleed
needle valve) for the Saito
.30S(H)/
GK
engines) may now be refined.
Please refer to the
"
Carburetor
Adjustments" section on page 6 for
information on how to do
so.
The valves may
also
be checked at this
time. Refer to the
"
Engine Maintenance" section on page 8 for information on the valve/tappet adjustments.
The use of
a
tachometer is encouraged
for setting the high
-
speed needle valve
(85)
prior to flight. The peak rpm should be obtained and then reduced by approximately
200 - 300
rpm by turning the high-speed needle valve counter
-
clockwise (richen). Each
engine'a peak rpm can be found on the
"
Propeller Chart" on page
16.
Over-
revving of a 4-stroke engine can cause
internal damage to the engine.
Carburetor Adjustments
for
Two
Needle Carburetors
The low-speed, or idle needle valve
(89),
is preadjusted at the factory for
best performance during break
-
in. After break-in it may be necessary to "
fine tune" the low speed adjustment
using the following procedure:
1.
Start the engine and let it
warm
up
prior to attempting any adjustments.
Page 9

2.
Close the throttle slowly and adjust
the low speed setting by rotating the
idle needle valve
(89)
clockwise
to
lean the mixture and counterclockwise
to richen the mixture.
Note:
The fuel mixture
is
too rich if when openning the throttle rapidly the engine emits white smoke and “stutters” or “stumbles.” Correct this by rotating the idle needle valve clockwise
‘/4
to
’/z
turn at a time until the engine transitions smoothly without hesitation upon opening the throttle rapidly.
The fuel mixture may be too lean if the engine stops at the lowest idle position, or when the throttle is rapidly opened from idle. Attempt to correct this by rotating the idle needle valve counter
-

turn at a time until
the engine transitions smoothly without hesitation upon opening the throttle rapidly. If the situation
is
not rectified
by counterclockwise rotations
of

turn increments.
3.
After obtaining the proper idle
setting, the
low
rpm setting may be
made through the positioning
of
the
throttle adjustment screw, if applicable.
If
not, adjust the idle setting via the
throttle trim of your transmitter.

3. After obtaining the proper idle
setting, the low rpm setting may be made through the positioning of the throttle adjustment screw, if applicable.
If
not, adjust the idle setting via the
throttle trim
of
your transmitter.
Normal Engine
Operation
If break-in was accomplished
on
a test bench your engine may be mounted to the aircraft and flown. The initial flight should be performed with the engine adjusted for a rich fuel mixture.
1.
Your Saito engine should be securely mounted to the aircraft. There are many motor mounts available; however, a high-quality metal mount, such as those manufactured by Saito exclusively for Saito engines, is considered to be the best.
2.
General operating procedures that
will ensure long engine life are:
Do
not
operate the engine with a ‘‘lean’’ mixture. Regularly check all screws and nuts
on
both the engine and muffler.
After 1 to 2 hours of operation, valve
adjustment may be necessary. Adjust the valves as shown in the “Engine Maintenance” section. The Saito engines are equipped with a breather nipple (19). It is recommended that a length
of
silicone tubing be attached to this crankcase breather nipple (19) and routed away from the engine compartment
so
the excess oil can be
expelled outside of the aircraft.
Engine Maintenance
Do
not needlessly dismantle your
Saito single cylinder engine.
If you must disassemble your single cylinder engine, please refer to the following steps. Remember, a qualified individual should do disassembly.
1.
Cylinder screws should be loosened
in a criss
-
cross pattern.
2.
Assemble the cam gear lining
up
the
timing mark at the
“6
o’clock’ position. The crankshaft must be positioned at the
“12
o’clock’ or “top dead center” (TDC) position (refer to Figure
I
below).

3.
Reassemble the piston, rod, rocker arm, pins, pushrod, tappet, etc., in their original positions. Engine parts are mated after running the engine and they must be reassembled as close as possible to their original position.
4.
Assemble the engine, reversing the criss-cross pattern used in the disassembly. Prior to tightening each of the screws, apply a drop of oil to prevent thread damage.
Normal engine
maintenance,
such
as adjusting the valves or carburetor maintenance,
is
permissible without
voiding the warranty.
If you have any questions concerning maintenance procedures, please contact the Saito Service Center at
(217)
355-9511.
Our technicians will
be happy to advise you
on
maintenance issues.
Valve/Tappet
Gap
Adjustment
After approximately one hour of operation, tappet gap adjustment may be necessary. When you check the valves, lubricate the moveable parts. Also make sure the screw is in tight before making adjustments to valves.
Adjust the valves to a clearance
of
.03
mm to
.10
mm
(.002”-
,004”)
using the supplied gauge. The valves must be adjusted with the engine cold due
to
thermal expansion.
Note:
Valves must be in the compression stroke or closed position as shown in Figure
2
below. When
adjustment
is
completed, make sure
you tighten the lock nut.

CARBURETOR MAINTENANCE
Carburetor Maintenance
Should you experience difficulty with the carburetor of your engine:
1.
Check that the slotted head
of
the
Idle Needle Valve
(89)
is flush with the throttle arm housing. This will put the idle needle back to the factory preadjusted position.
2.
Remove the high-speed needle
(85)
and flush out the spray bar with
clean fuel. Replace the high
-
speed needle and follow the instructions in the Carburetor Adjustment section.
3.
Always use a high
- quality 4-cycle glow plug. Saito
SS
(SAIP
400S)
or
Hangar
9
Super Plug (HAN3011) is highly
recommended.
Tips For Extended
Engine Life
To
add longer life
to
your Saito engine, the following recommendations are made:
1.
Use a high-quality fuel containing
20%
lubricants.
2.
Use 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. Hangar
9
After Run fuel is recommended.
6.
For long-term storage, make sure
there is no
fuel
left
in the tank and the
engine. Remove the glow
plug(s)
and
apply several drops of high-quality
light oil (e.g., a good quality light machine oil or Marvel Air
Tool
Oil)
to
the top
of
the engine, into the glow
plug hole, down the
pushrod
tubes, and through the crankcase pressure vent (breather nipple). 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
