lol just kidding
Gary, the eagle has landed. It found a nice home with my diy "close enough for gov't work" Manometer. The muffler looks absolutely KILLER! Pictures don't do it justice.

BTW, the box was just laying there on the ground next to the mailbox. Think the mail lady was trying to tell me something? Lol My wife and I drive nothing but 4x4 trucks so the lane doesn't seem that bad to us. Heehee
Looks like the packing was "adequate".No broken glass. I bought a few of those tubes at a ham radio swap n shop. Should have grabbed a few more. Pretty handy.
I think you will like the way the muffler sounds too.

LOL just what I was thinking LOL
you know you know, your 82 would be a good test for one of those HP Carbs with the Accelerator Pump, they make 2, one for the 61 engine and the lager one for the 120, but I can only measure the 61 Carb, hold on I will do that and compare it to the 82 and 100 carb.
BTW, the HP Carb is a slide type Carb

HP 61 Slide Carb with Accelerator Pump
so accordingly to the HP part number, both the HP 61 and 120 use the same Slide Barrel, yet different Carb Bodies, so most likely the 120 has a larger ID
the HP 61 Carb's Body ID is,,,, .325",
the Slide's OD is,,,,, .334",
measuring inline to the Slide, it looks like the Slide moves (full open to full closed) only .312",
even tho the slide moves only .312", looking in the Carb from the engine's side with the slide fully open it 's a pretty big hole there..
so in the end, knowing the FA 100 Barrel is .336", what ever the area in the HP Carb could be calculated to actually be at fully open, I think it would be larger than the stock 82 Barrel ID,

but I have to order fresh fuel, I don't want to use 12y.o. fuel in my Saitos
Jim
Yeah, I don't know whats up with the 115 and 125 image, I know it's my own image but I did something wrong while uploading/saving it, by getting rid of the 115 I can't take that picture again. When I do a Google search lots of my own pictures come up, if I don't enlarge them before right clicking and then saving them they end up as thumb nails.
If it's in a factory sealed plastic jug I'd shake the devil out of and try it. I read where one guy shook up some 6 yr fuel and it looked perfect, ran perfect too. Old fuel in metal cans I'm not so sure about, could have rust.

High compression piston

For anyone interested, Horizon still has 30 Saito 65 parts listed, they only show the flat top, (low compression) piston. Plenty there to freshen up a tired 65.

My field can is all metal and all connections O ring sealed. My home-mixed fuel goes in to steel five gallon cans, aside from what I take to the field. But you are dead right about rust. Any suspect can gets trashed on the spot!
