Re: More modern question 9.9 Johnson question

How much of the SS tip is visible inside the threaded portion of the carb? It almost appears as if the SS tip, which is about .5" long just pulled out of the threaded brass portion. Perhaps you can slip a small pick/dentist type tool inside the threaded portion of the body, then rock the broken SS shank/needle out of the pocket. Again, be gentle, rocking the needle might distort the aluminum mating surface that the needle is stuck in…
