Mark, I was made aware that the carb needle in question here is a 2-piece affair. It has a stainless steel tip inserted into the end of the threaded brass part that you had in your hand in the pictures. The piece that is stuck in your carb body is the stainless steel point. Heat should have the same effect with this difference in materials. There is more to the piece that is stuck than just the tapered tip though. The piece should be long enough to be able to gently wiggle the flat end that was inside the brass with an awl or pick or something similar. With heat and a penetrant and a wiggle and a tap, it ‘should’ come out. I hope this helps.
