crashinator

hello, i just bought my first magnum.
i have run four tanks through it and two have been in flight. i like the engine but am concerned about the needle valve "looseness" it slops around alot. I had an extension on it but was affraid of the needle wearing out due to the extra movement. During fine tuning appying light pressure latteraly will affect the setting also. the 'catch' holds nicely and prevents turning like it should.

Any suggestions? is this normal for magnum? is there a fix for it?

thanks

A short piece of fuel tubing over the needle

Do you mean over the needle itself, or over the entire assembly with a large tubeing.

The tubing has to go between the handle part of the needle and over the body of the needle valve assembly but it cannot go beyond the beginning of the spring clip.

Try to bend the spring clip to put more pressure on the needle

The spring can be from Magnum or OS. Either one fits the other. There are weak ones in OS as well as Magnum
