Default RE: low speed needle valve on OS 46 AX?

W8Ye's correct, and this too is part of the learning process!

If this happens, back the LS needle out until it's flush with the carbureator body's surface. This yields a "ballpark" LS needle setting that will allow the engine once again to start and run.

Point I am trying to make here is that I think its better to screw up adjustments so bad that the engine wont run at all...THAN... have a flameout on takeoff. (Those really stink no matter how good of a pilot you are)

Experiment with (slight) adjustments, test then re adjust. Its half the fun IMO, and , your airplane and wallet with be very thankful!
