Super Tiger needle valve
« on: May 19, 2013, 03:20:18 PM »
I need a new needle valve for a Fox .35.  It appears to have a Super Tiger NVA in it.  Where can I get a replacement and is there a certain type/size?  I'm ok buying the NVA if need be. Thanks for the help.

Try Jim Lee. He's in the Vendor's corner. His site has a PDF download, I saw a NVA for a Fox .35 listed just today.

Here's the link to his...

Hey Mike! I wanted to replace it with what was in it.  My son (the one that flies your old Oriental) was give an airplane that had an engine in it, but has to give the engine back.  Well, he broke the needle and I want to return it the way we received it.. With a ST needle.  We hope to see you at the Regionals.

ST .51 works, I have one in my fox on my Ringmaster. Jim Snelson sells them at CLC. He's on down in the vendor section on this forum

Hi Duke:

There are three sizes of St needle valve assemblies. These fit the ST51 (the smallest spray bar), the St .46 and the ST .60. we also supply replacement needles. You can find these items on our web site www.rsmdistribution.com Look under the engines subsection.

Remember that the ST-style NVAs are 4mm OD (0.157"). They fit the Fox 35 crankcase but the Fox NVA is about 0.125" OD across the venturi—and so, reduces the venturi area much less.

Is the NVA that you are replacing constant diameter? If not, Randy Smith—and possibly others—supply an ST-style NVA that is necked down across the venturi to retain the stock venturi area.

Hey Eric
Can you post a picture of your needles? Just to make sure I'm on the right page. Thanks.

If you already have the spraybar assembly installed and all you need is a Super Tigre needle Eric sells them separately. They are interchangeable, all you have to do is cut to the length you need for your model. 8)

Or if you don't want to wait for Eric to post - go to "shtterman"s E-bay control line store. Pictures are posted there. He is a reliable vendor and sells Hobby Fasteners/RSM items. This is the name RSM/Eric sells his ST NVA's under. Fox 35 NVA are listed as item "221224693718" on dabay.  8)
