Barrie Dav 2 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Is there any kit out there whereby the carb needle adjustment can be mounted at the rear of the engine. No engine in particular......... I know that some SC engines have this facility but I'm looking for an adaption for existing engines. Any suggestions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine Doctor Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hello Barrie . The SC rear mounted needle valve can be easily converted to fit most engines. As most chinese engines are very near copies of OS they are all very similar dimensions and slight elongation of the mounting holes on the needle valve mounting bracket allows you to fit to most engines. I fitted a rear needle valve to an OS 60 FP a couple of weeks ago Took a couple of minutes and cost about a fiver for the part as I already had a needle .(I bought a bracket for a Magum 60 ) The rear mounting bracket from ASP SC or magnum are quite cheap and easy to obtain. The JEN engine range are possibly from the same source so Just engines may be a good source for the Parts.The original needle valve on the FP carb was broken so I just soldered over the end of the broken thread allowing a clear passage for fuel to enter the carb. Hope it Helps E.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Dav 2 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks E.D, Will the new assembly have to match up with the front one, or will it be ok as long as it is of the same or larger capacity ? As you see, I'm new to this..... Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
