Here we have my trusty Saito fa100 (17cc) model four stroke glow plug engine complete with original box and instruction manual.
This engine has seen some use and was flown in my Fourstar 60 recently.
The engine itself is in good all around condition and has very very good compression.
The bearings are starting to show their age so could ideally do with being changed (they’re most probably the originals) but the engine did run fine, just slightly noisy.
The only real issue is that it needs new tappet adjustment screws and lock off nuts.
The inlet adjustment screw and backing nut have had it and the exhaust screw and nut isn’t far behind.
These obviously need to be replaced before this engine can be run again.
These are very small little parts that can be ordered off the internet.
(I got a bit carried away when checking the clearances ☺️)
Have included pictures (last 2)
Original box and instruction manual are present but tatty.
Has a good OS-F plug.
Have a decent video of this engine running in a test bench if you’re interested.
Think I’ve been quite thorough but should you have any queries, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Loads more pictures of the engine on eBay.
Thanks for looking.
