Having one of these motors I wonder if the threaded hole and the metering hole are not concentric, causing a side load on the needle. Or maybe the nylon bushing that is supposed to guide the needle end is causing a side load. That would fatigue the stainless needle. I just cannot see how one could break it off in the carb any other way. If trying to work it off from the threaded end be careful not to mess up the threads.
