MSN with a mind of its own

[NITROMITE]

my axial .28 had started running like poop so i gave it a quick look over and i found that the MSN had leaned its self way out. when adjusting it back to the correct spot (flush) i noticed it is very loose no way it will stay were i want it to
but at the same time their are no threads that i can see to lock tight unless i pull out the entire thing. what are you guys doing to fix this problem?

The threads for the needle are more to the inside of the carb. You can get a rebuild kit to put a new o-ring on the MSN .

new MSN (easier way to go)

If you look at the link of the MSN, you will see the threads on the needle. If you want to loc-tite it you need to clean the carb real well with denatured alcohol .. then loc-tite it.

One thing I have done is just put some CA on the outside of the needle, then let it cure.

yes i know this happens to the hpi engines alot and most people get it tuned and seal it in place so it doesnt move again and never have to touch it again....
