Old OS Max .10
Hi everyone, I have an old OS engine, it says 10 and Max on the crankcase (Don't know if they made OS MAX back in the early 80's, that's why I ask about this). The problem is, it doesn't have a needle valve, and I would really like to use this little engine. Does anybody know if there's a substitution for the needle valve, or if another carb. will fit this engine? Any tips on where I could get a replacement N.V. and on how to use it?
