Magnum XL 52 FS needle settings?
I bought a new Magnum XL FS 52AR a while back but misplaced the manual. Does anyone know the factory needle settings or know where I can find a manual on-line? Maybe I missed something on Global Hobby's site...

My manual shows 2 turns out from fully closed on the high speed needle. Doesn't say what the low speed factory setting is, unfortunately.

Here is a copy of the .61 four stroke which is the same engine with the same settings. Side by side you cannot tell them apart except for the number on the side.

I have the Magnum 61 fs, I`ll go and check out what my needles are at, be back in a moment
My engine is at 1.5 turns out on the high speed needle and only 0.75 turns out on a closed carb on the low speed needle. This is what I fly at, on my fuel in my ambient conditions after running in, and propably far from factory settings. If you start at about 2 turns on the high speed needle and 1-1.5 turns on the low end needle you should be fine and lean in as desired from there
