Hey guys I've got a old axial engine. The mid range needle backed itself out today and I can't find it. Everywhere is saying they are sold out. Do any of you guys know of another brand or needle set that is interchangeable? The part number is ax029. Thanks for any help

Can you just get a new carb? That could be the easiest option, yes, I know it will not be the cheapest. I know from experience with vintage stuff sometimes you just have to adapt and overcome

Agreed I just lost it yesterday so figured I could try for a few days to find the part before buying new carb. But if I end up having to do that then that'll be what I just gotta do unfortunately.Can you just get a new carb? That could be the easiest option, yes, I know it will not be the cheapest.

I get it, I often want to just replace what broke or was lost. When it comes to these discontinued/vintage items, we just have to find the next best thing. Good luck, be sure to follow up with what you end up doing so someone down the road can revert back to this.

I'm going to end up just replacing the whole carb. $20-$40USD and will get rid of mid range needle anyways. I'm not a fan on mid needles.
