os max 50 engine
help anyone
I have an os max 50 engine with a two needle valve throttle. been a real bear to adjust. any advice here would be greatly appreciated. do not have manual which came with engine. can prime and it will run out prime and quit. carb has been removed and cleaned, tank and fuel lines all been checked, tank location is in acceptable range. running the prime out it really screams but then dies. haven't been used in awhile but all appears to be in good shape.
any advice would be appreciated.

RE: os max 50 engine
The manual for the 50SX says to open the HS needle valve to 1.5 to 2 turns out. Then close the throttle and screw in the mixture needle screw until it stops then back to 1.5 turns. These should be good starting places for your engine. You can tune it in from there if all else is ok.
Good luck.
These are good engines.
