I was attempting to adjust the needle using a carb adjustment tool that locks the upper part and passes the wrench through to the adjustment. The wrench will seat in the adjuster, but will not move either way. I did not think that these had locking screws to prevent any change. I was reluctant to force the needle and wanted to see if there is something I am missing here.<br>

I have a 1976 Spitfire with the same problem. Right now I'm just<br>
soaking it in various let-go solutions. Hoping I don't have to get<br>
too aggressive... I think I'd swap the piston out before I start<br>
drilling, to buy myself some time. That's why you can't have just one<br>
