Sometimes looks can be deceiving. I have purchased MANY used Saito engines but I have never had one in this bad of a condition before. The ad said turns over with compression. Nothing could be further from the truth. List of conditons/issues with this engine.
- Locked up, does not turn over at all.
- Both valves were stuck down, and thus could never have compression.
- Timing gear was stuck and unable to be moved, thus the engine would never turn over.
- Piston ring fully compressed and stuck, again a cause for no compression.
- Bad bearings but I expected that.
- Carb frozen and throttle barrel would not move.
- Most difficult time I have ever had in removing a prop hub. It took 2 hours to get off.
In the end I managed to get this in running condition again.
Here is the review I left for the seller:
Waited over 48 hours before item shipped and only after I inquired. Arrived in a box with little to no packing material. Ad says turns over with compression, engine is locked up. Sent a message after the sale but prior to shipping asking questions about the item, no response from seller. Over all bad seller and bad deal.
