Has anyone ever changed the bearings in a Saito 72 4 cycle?
Is it much of a job?? It would cost around $60.00 bucks for shiping,labor and parts,to send it to horizon. :angry:

This is what I think of Saito :toiletpaper:

My 56 has been to them twice. And now the 72 :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I am glad I got a O.S. for my Texan :)

Thanks Andy :) Ok I will take you up on the offer :D I will look in my parts book to see what other stuff like gaskets,O-Rings, it may need and get them on order.

If you ever get a Tractor Trailer Rig with a Detroit or Cummins diesel in it, I can help you out. :thumbup:

HI, If you are having this much touble with Saitos something is wrong. Saitos are the most reliable engine out there.

Hi Buzz,

I thought that thay were reliable to. BUT :angry: I had to send the 56 in four times for repair.Thay gave me a new one.It is still in the box, I don't think that I will use it :thumbdown: I have just ordered ceramic bearings for the 72.

I use COOL-POWER 15% fuel, and I put after run oil in all my engines after each days use.

Three, O.S. 46 Two Stroke. No Proublem :thumbup:
Two, O.S. 70 Four Stroke. No Proublem :thumbup:
One, Evolution 46 Two Stroke. Carb and Berg replace once :thumbdown:
One Saito 52 Four stroke. Berg three times. Broken valves once :thumbdown:
One,Saito 100 Four Stroke No Proublem :thumbup:

The Saito 100 is runing fine, and to be fair, I think it is a good motor.
But I will not buy another Saito. I just :wub: O.S.
