Dave,
In many cases you can save the cost of the factory nipple along with the threaded joint.
Sweat soldering the hose connection in place works out well.

Well boys I just got the updated diagnosis is unstable angina which is a step down from a heart attack. Enzymes indicate NO HEART damage! I do have some enlargment on the right side they blame on my lung condition. The bad news is they can't fix it and I won't really get much if any better, but they can manage it so it doesn't get any worse. I see the cardiologist next week to fill in the details. My daughter in-law will pick me up in a couple of hours to take me home. Man, that is one good looking 125!
Happy you get to go home
and lived to tell!
Happy to hear

No it didn't but that is to be expected. This little trip has me reassessing my retirement plans. I was leaning toward working until I'm 70 now I think I will be lucky to hit my full retirement age of 66 years and 8 months (Decmeber 2024).
I did finally retire in June , one month and four days before my 70th. Would gladly have stayed another 11 years but the researchers in Wuhan foiled that plan.
Now, if you shove a finger into a prop, we can talk
Hope to see you back and swinging soon.
The prop nut and wrench should go out this week.

I was thinking I may want to build airplanes instead of work for the 3 years between 67 and 70. I will worry about it when I get there, too many things going on that could decide for me to worry about retiring now.

I see horizon is discounting some of their satio engines and some are pretty good size for horizon. If you are looking for one of the ones they have discounted it’s almost better then buying used.

Yeah I noticed this as well. In fact, I can’t recall seeing discount on Saito’s so I may be picking up an engine and looking for something to mount it to!
Don't sell yourself short. When I was diagnosed with cancer at age 59,(2009) I was thinking it was all over and age 70 would never happen. I decided to weather it out and stay working. BTW, the cancer was discovered during medical work ups over a major cardiac event.

Holy crap! Been wanting a 120R3 for my Corsair. It is nearly half off. Placed the order on it. That and taxes are about half as well. Man Champaign has high taxes! Almost 10%! Glad I hadn't fit an engine to it yet, still have a virgin firewall. IIRC the cowl is 7" in diameter, and this engine is 6 5/8" in diameter.
Heck, seems like half or better of mine disappear. Not religion or politics in my case. Things mechanical vaporize. I even delete my own just to play it safe.
Very sorry about your injury.
Mo voodoo dolls, don't even know what you look like
And to think, people right here made fun because I wear a leather glove.

Dave,
Got any use for some Saito 72 rings? I made a batch about 5 years ago and they all worked great. Just found three that were left over. Of course they fit the Saito 80 too. Unlike the other home made rings you may find, these have been properly heat treated. Since I got rid of the lathe, I will keep one as a spare but you are welcome to the other two.

I could do that just for the fun of it, Gary gets equal billing, (the movie term) for the rings.
The rear facing vents are not in my truck, I thought they may have slipped down beside the right bucket seat, but no.

Usually pride forces the crappy chinese two strokes right back into the vehicle they arrived in.
They come back with different carbs, ignitions and becs and hall sensors and still wack the back of the hand that feeds them.
Then they sound terrible when they do start.
Quite unlike the sweet Saito four stroke serenade.

Reward, if found So far, the best combo I have used. The 20 volt LiOn Dewalt batteries are amazing. The extra 6 volts is most welcome and the batteries are easy to charge and a snap to swap out One charge lasts for weeks.
