Carburettor needles for glow RC engines

This O.S. Engine OS21781970 twin needle offering covers the 10LA and 15LA needle types used on small glow-model carburettors, sold as RC-scale replacement parts for model engine upkeep. The needles are intended to restore or replicate the factory adjustment interface in carburettors that accept 10LA/15LA style needles and to provide repeatable seating for tuning tasks.

Functionally the needle is a tuning interface: it sets the mixture and idle range by altering fuel flow at the carburettor needle valve. Swapping a worn or damaged needle helps eliminate erratic idle, uneven throttle response, or the need for excessive mixture compensation during setup. The part is presented as a direct replacement needle component rather than a multi-part assembly.

Installation and tuning notes: only fit this needle to carburettors designed for 10LA or 15LA needle types, confirm correct seating and smooth travel, and then adjust mixture and idle per your engine's established procedure. Make small incremental adjustments when tuning; observe engine response and re-check needle seating after initial runs to ensure consistent behaviour.

The needle controls fuel flow at the needle valve, affecting idle and mixture; replacing a worn needle restores predictable adjustment range for tuning.
Check the carburettor service manual or inspect the needle seating and part marking; only fit needles explicitly specified for the carburettor to avoid mismatch.
Only swap if the carburettor supports both types; each needle profile changes mixture behaviour so retune the engine after any change.
