O.S. Engine needle valve part

This needle valve assembly is a carburettor component intended for the stated O.S. engine models. It is used to adjust low-speed fuel metering and to help achieve the correct mixture during bench tuning and break-in.

Compatibility is confined to the engine model codes shown in the product title: FS-61, FS-70S, FS-80, FS-120SE. Do not assume it will fit other engines without checking the manufacturer's parts breakdown.

Installation notes - general guidance:

  • Perform work on a clean bench and evacuate fuel from the carburettor before service to avoid contamination.
  • Install the needle following the carburettor's original orientation and secure any clips or seats exactly as fitted originally.
  • After installation, approach needle adjustments conservatively and verify idle and throttle response in a controlled area.

Tuning and maintenance tips:

  • Turn the low-speed needle in small increments until you achieve a steady idle and smooth transition through the throttle range.
  • Periodically inspect the needle tip and seat for wear, corrosion or residue; clean with a suitable carburettor cleaner where appropriate.
  • Keep written records of your baseline needle positions so you can revert to known settings during troubleshooting.
Inspect the needle and seat at regular intervals, especially after extended running or if performance becomes inconsistent. Early detection of wear prevents erratic metering.
Use a carburettor-safe solvent and a soft brush or lint-free cloth to remove varnish and deposits. Avoid abrasive methods that could change the needle profile.
Note the original number of turns out from the seated position before making changes. Keep a simple log of adjustments so you can return to the baseline if a change causes poor running.
