Saito needle is unsensative

Whaddup!

Recently my satio 72 became pretty unsensative on the high end. (runs great, just a little short on power) I am running omega 15%, 13x4wide and stock glow plug. Any ideas guys?

I am going to take it off of my burrito (it crashed) and put it on my katana P. Anything I should be checking while I have it off? I recently turned the carburator around for easier access. Maybe the part that fits into the top of the engine from the carb is not sealing??

Thanks

oh yeah, I do plan to try some of the props you guys recommended in the other Satio 72 thread.
That happened twice to me on the .91s. First time it was glow plug. I've started replacing the glow plug first thing when I have trouble. ( and when I forget, that's what's wrong) Second time it was the little O-ring on the curved tube that leads from the carb to the head.
thanks, I was in a hurry when turning the carb around. Didnt even look to see how that tube fit into the back of the cylinder head. I bet thats the problem. Never had problems with the plug though, I may as well change it too.
The pluds that come with the saitos don't seem to last me very long. The OS 4Stroke plugs seem to work well.

As does the YS 4 stroke plug. You very well could have an airleak at the intake tube on the cylinder head end. A little dab of High temp sealant will take care of it if you take it apart and clean it good first. Then get you a 13-6 MA scimitar plastic, and you'll be set.
