The only question is, should I run this engine or not? I state in the video that I believe the vintage of this engine is 1983. I do not think that is correct; I should have said 1984-1986.

Actually, I wouldn't. With all those little original quirks it has right out of the pristine box, I would keep this one as it is. Great video either way, thanks for sharing.

Appreciate the comment. I am not a collector and I have sold most all of my engines. Unless I run this, it just sits. Sitting around does no one any good.

The Glow Engine Enthusiast then I guess you already knew the answer before you asked the question 😉

@@dmrcflyr2 As someone with several vintage engines and planes myself, I've wondered the same thing. Do I save it, because it's rare and antique (in model terms). Or do you say "it's meant to run, let's let 'er rip". I say run it if you want. It's made to be used, to be enjoyed after all.

Stuart Warne RC :The Glow Engine Enthusiast then I guess you already knew the answer before you asked the question 😉 Actually in the video I did say that I was 'struggling' with the decision. That, nor does my response to you, imply the answer. I was simply stating a fact and the other side of the question. How would viewers of the channel see it if I just decided to sit it on a shelf? Sort of the purpose of this channel is running engines.... From the person who was adamant about me allowing comments on this channel too.. SMH.

This is a beautiful vintage engine, David. In my collection, I have a newer one, the Saito FA 40A.

That engine is a jewel Dave. I don’t think I would be able to bring myself to run it. Lol. I do have a slightly used fa-45 special (almost identical) which needs to be run this year.

The high 4k 2160p resolution of the video is great. Better than regular TV... Running in the engine with SW FAI fuel would be interesting, because current Saito manuals recommend fuel with 20% synthetic oil if possible.

Well I have PLENTY of FAI fuel on hand. Odd how no one else commented on the 4K video quality.

Saito sure makes a nice engine. I have many in my collection. Horizon is selling a 40A they say is closer to the FA-30 case size but with more power. List $199, which for a new never run motor from Saito is more than fair. I agree with you tho that I do not like the No throttle stop and 90deg intake manifold. I like to be able to see the barrel and set a stop.

I had a 40a but sold it. I have never been one to pack 'more power' into a smaller package. I prefer these classic engines any day.

Hello sir. After being inspired by your original channel, I rebuilt my saito fa-91 and couldn’t be happier. I have no use for this engine anymore. Can I send it to you?

Sorry I did not know anything about the engines I think it was the glow plug but do you know if I can get just a piston and rod I got mine loose but the piston snapped off the rod.

These engines are very old and no longer made. No I do not know if you can find parts. I cannot help you.
