Who doesn't know the beautiful 4T engines from SAITO? Known for years for their quality and reliability. SAITO engines became famous in the era of spark ignition (FA) engines. Always in a 4-stroke version, in a black housing with a gold valve cover ("GK") or simply in a silver housing. Later, modern large-volume gasoline engines (FG) followed in different numbers of cylinders. Again, all typical Saito 4-stroke models. These new gasoline engines quickly became very popular, as they were considered powerful and reliable from the beginning. Gasoline engines consume less fuel than glow-ignition engines and, in addition, fuel is much cheaper. Electronic ignition allows engines to be started without a preheating device, which greatly improves operating comfort compared to previous engines. In general, regular commercial gasoline is used in combination with high quality 2T oil in a ratio of 15 to 20:1. An instruction manual in English is supplied with the engine.
