Can't blow fuel into the engine. Serious

[SavagePower]

I haven't touched my Savage for couple weeks now and I was trying to get it started today.

Never got it to start, everytime I blew fuel into the engine, it came out of the mid speed needle. I don't think it even reached the engine because when I took the glow plug out, it was very dry inside.

So I completely took the mid speed needle out and it was so wet. I cleaned it and put it back. After that, the fuel seemed to be reaching the engine because when I took the glow plug out, i could see it was a little wet.

This is an Axial .28 Engine.

And now I don't know the default setting for the mid speed needle. Any help would be appreciated.

Your o-ring for the mid speed is most likely garbage. This is pretty common for Axial engines.

Thanks for the reply, do you know the default mid speed needle setting?

It should be flush at pointing toward 3 o'clock or so.

I'm sorry, I don't under what flush means?

It means that the needle should be even with the end of the carb body.

ok on the axial 28 the factory settings are flush on the mid range needle the high side needle should be flush with grove here is a pic to explain the high side needle grove the red lines in this pic shows u the grove that the bottom of the high side needle should be flush with it and the blue lines are showing u mid range needle should be flush and the low side needle should be flush

OMG, thank you so much! You made my life easier now. That is very interesting instead of remember how many turns and stuff like that.

just one more question, at which hour direction should the needle be when it is flushed?

sorry for asking too many questions, but the 3 hour position, is it only for the mid speed needle or for all three needles?
