the Wasp got it, thanks.
So I started to work on my carb on setup and found exactly what I needed in my tool box!!!! I though I sold it with my heli! Now have to see if it fits!

I see, you need the throttle arm offset away from the carb. That's a nice looking part but if it can't be modded to fit I've seen it done another way. Bend a 3/16" wide .060" thick strip of aluminum sheet into to a "Z" or "U" shape and attach it to the existing throttle arm holes with 2-56 hardware. You can achieve any offset and throttle rod position you like.

yep and thanks I actually started doing what you mentioned. That was my last resort but I think I may end up buying a 90ts throttle linkage setup if I can ever find one
. Until then I am doing what you mentioned. The purple throttle linkage screw hits the intake and diameter is too large for the carb barrel.

So I’ve been looking at o-ring kits for a Saito 72 and come across a carburetor upgrade kit which includes a spray bar and needle valve. Has anyone installed one of these and noticed an improvement?

Jim, there is the tiniest groove for that ring, it's just about impossible to see. The spry bar has a flat phlange that fits tight against the inside of the carb, I don't think it could leak.

The backordered con rod finally came in for my fa82, fits looser than my og rod so I'll just reuse the og. Since no one here seemed to have a problem with the pic I posted of my piston top flaws I'll reuse it as well. The ring lands, skirt and rod pin bore are all in new condition so why not. I'll be slapping this money pit back together soon with a new piston ring so it should run great now.
NEW PARTS LIST:
Cam
Cam pin
Tappets
Bearings
Piston Ring
Push Rod Cover Seals
A ton of tinkering fun
Lonnie (aka glowy?)
Edit: Add a carb oring kit to that list

Davebob your throttle rod set up must suit you,like bruce i like the slotted firewall and golden rod throttle gear when your fa82 is back hard up against the firewall where they should be.
ps since when did talking about who sent who a PM and what it was about in a public forum become private??
