Default 40 Fx Needle Valve

I recently broke off one of the plastic fuel nipples on the needle valve of my 40 Fx. The break is at the joint of the piece to the main needle valve body. Is there any way to fix it or is there a place that has replacement valves for the engine?

The O.S. Max .40 FX engine doesn't have plastic fuel nipples.  The need valve assembly is part of the rear cover, which is metal, and has metal fittings. 

If the nipple on the main housing is broken, you'll need a new rear cover:

OSMG4128   25607100 COVER PLATE 40-46FX            US$11.99

The fuel outlet  nipple screws into the cover plate.

These parts can be ordered through any hobby retailer who sells O.S. Max engines and accessories.

Major duh moment...

The engine is a .40 FA not FX. At least I got the first letter right. The needle valve on it is removable.

There is no O.S. Max .40 FA.  Do you mean .40 LA?  If so, then you need:

OSMG7118  26582910 NEEDLE HOLDER 65LA               US$9.99

These parts can be ordered through any hobby retailer who sells O.S. Max engines and accessories.
