Needle-valve extension
The needle-valve with this engine is designed to incorporate
an extension so that, when the engine is enclosed within the
fuselage, the needle-valve may be adjusted from the
outside. An L-shaped rod, of 1.6-1.8mm dia. and
appropriate length, should be inserted into the needle's
center hole and secured by tightening the set-screw in the
needle-valve knob with a small Allen key. If a longer
extension cable is required it is suggested that one be
fabricated as per the illustration.
NOTE:
O.S. does not offer the extension cable as an accessory
item.
Do not use an excessively long unsupported extension as
this may vibrate and cause the needle-valve setting to vary
or even damage the needle-valve thread. Always provide a
suitable support at the outer end.
It is essential that the firewall is strong and rigid (e.g. at
least 15mm thick) and firmly integrated with the structure of
the aircraft.
