lives little easier flying successful Needle Valves use surgical-tubing bladder tank its resultant high pressure size hole tapered needle meters fuel should no larger about 046 diameter its bigger needle setting will critical area opening changes drastically adjust needle However use metal tank crankcase pressure might need larger hole since less pressure problem K&B 65 wouldnt run rich enough until drilled out needle seat fitting 055 diameter can have another problem metal tank hole crankcase-pressure fitting too big get surging try reducing pressure-fitting hole sizesoft-solder piece music wire hole pull out just solder sets up Try 014 wire start Ive used wires small 012 worked OK slightly larger wire will probably work well Fuel Injection Another trick can give engine steadier
