The YS Engine YSE1274 sub needle is presented as a direct replacement part intended for use with the DZ170 CDI engine family. As an RC-scale accessory, its role is limited to the needle valve assembly where it helps control fuel flow and fine tuning of idle and mid-range mixture.
Functionally, a sub needle sits inside the needle valve and determines seating and metering characteristics; replacing a worn or bent sub needle restores predictable needle seating and smoother mixture control. This item is intended for model glow engines and should be treated as a spare part for maintenance and tuning tasks.
Installation notes: access the carburettor needle assembly following the engine maker's service steps, remove the carburettor top or needle retainer as required, swap the sub needle, and reassemble carefully. Avoid over-tightening needle retainers and check for burrs or debris that can affect seating. After installation, perform a controlled run-in and adjust the main and idle needles to re-establish correct mixture.
Tuning advice: small sub-needle changes affect how the needle seats and can alter throttle response in the transition and idle ranges. Make incremental adjustments and document changes so you can revert to prior settings if needed. If the engine shows inconsistent idling, flooding, or lean surging, inspect the needle for wear before changing other components.
