needle
A sewing needle, used for hand-sewing, is a long slender tool with a pointed tip at one end and a hole (or eye) to hold the sewing thread. The earliest needles were made of bone or wood; modern needles are manufactured from high carbon steel wire and are nickel- or 18K gold-plated for corrosion resistance. High-quality embroidery needles are plated with two-thirds platinum and one-third titanium alloy. Traditionally, needles have been kept in needle books or needlecases which have become objects of adornment. Sewing needles may also be kept in an étui, a small box that held needles and other items such as scissors, pencils and tweezers.
I'm having issues with the Carter carb and the needles it comes with. It has the viton tipped needle (like they all do) and after being introduced to fuel, begins to swell up. it'll swell and stick inside the seat, so every time I start the engine I have to pull the seat from the fuel line...
