On those really tough ones I've removed the piston from the carb so I can
grab the piston body. Then I can apply some serious torque to the adjust screw.
Oft times the brass screw on the side will be overly tight and not allow the
needle body to slide. Then the head on the screw breaks. That is the time to
call Joe Curto.
