Saito 125 rich at mid-range
<span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small">I have a Saito 125 that runs great except during mid-range (half throttle). I've tried almost everything and I'm currently using a 50-50 mix of 15% Cool Power and 30% Heli Cool Power (seems to be the best from anything else). The engine is inverted in a Hanger 9 P-51 Mustang. Does anyone have any ideas?</span></span></span>

RE: Saito 125 rich at mid-range
Here's aprocedure that will help,
Set HS needle at peak, then procede to lean the LS needle 18th turn at a time checking the transition and top rpm after every other change. On one of the 1/8th turn changes the engine will hesitate upon opening the throttle, richen LS needle 18th to 1/4 turn, re-richen the HS to your favorite setting and enjoy. Your LS needle should end up about here.
