Precision needle valve for O.S. Engine series

This needle valve assembly is designed as a carburettor component for the specified O.S. engine models. Its role is to allow precise low-speed fuel metering and to assist with mixture tuning during bench setup and initial running.

Compatibility is limited to the engine model codes listed in the title: FS-61, FS-70S, FS-80, FS-120SE. Confirm fitment against the engine's parts diagram or official documentation before fitting to other models.

Installation notes - general guidance:

  • Prepare a clean work surface and remove fuel from the system before opening the carburettor to prevent contamination.
  • Install the needle in the same orientation as the original, ensuring all seats and clips are refitted securely.
  • Once fitted, make conservative adjustments and check idle and throttle progression in a safe testing area.

Tuning and maintenance tips:

  • Adjust the low-speed needle in small increments to find a predictable idle and smooth throttle response.
  • Regularly examine the needle tip and seat for scoring or residue and clean them with a carburettor-safe solvent as needed.
  • Log your starting needle positions so you can revert if a change degrades performance.
Start from the baseline position, then make quarter-turn increments while running the engine. Listen for smooth throttle transition and stable idle; back out if the engine surges or stumbles.
Look for visible residue on the needle tip, scoring, or inconsistent idle. If cleaning with carburettor-safe solvent does not restore smooth running, replace the assembly.
Minor residue can often be cleaned safely, but inspect for wear or damage first. Replace the needle if the tip or seat shows wear that could affect metering accuracy.
