  Even for a "non-machinist" like me, it was easy to drill and tap the needle for a 4-40 socket screw.
  I used  JB Weld(tm) to secure the screw...croz

    Personally I hate using a screwdriver as to easy to vibrate off. Ball driver allows more to the rear access and turning keeping precious digits away from whirling digit modifier.

      Here's a thought that may be easier to implement...how about a longer screw driver to get your hand beyond the prop? You can make one from a piece of music wire.  Press a piece of brass tubing onto the needle valve to create a socket. This will hold the long screw driver in place while making the adjustment.

        You can accomplish the same thing by using a 2-56 socket head screw.  To make it fit in the needle assembly, like in my OS, chuck the head of the screw in your drill a spin it up then use your Dremel with a sanding drum and grind it down to the size you need. Use what ever length screw suits the setup.

          How about brazing the cutoff head of allen bolt to head of needle then adjust with ball driver which allows more prop clearance if you don't want to go with remote needle.

            Is there a replacemnet needle valve available for this engine that has a provision for an extension? The stem is short and only has a slot for adjusting with a screwdriver. Being so close the the prop, this is a little hazardous with a cowled engine.

            Alternatively, is there a simple way to add an extension to the needle?
