Boo-hoo. There are a couple out there....somewhere! I still have not head back from the purchaser of all that stuff from Johns Hobby’s. Here’s a picture of two NOS on the lower left hand side:

That's the same needle I bought a few years back. it's nr 1939 for a 290. The next picture is also a needle valve for a 290 but with nr 1478.

It happens lol!

Anyway, let me borrow this thread just a little, I want to thank Mark B for identifying my engine. And about the needles, I have a Stuka engine (I think) with a narrow nose case with no groove for the starter spring, with a yellow needle, so I suppose the yellow needles are from the early ’60s?

It's fine really. At least the conversation is about a similar engine as the one planned for my airplane. Smile
