Ive removed the set screw but the needle is spring loaded into the air valve by a second means. The ROM and the stromberg overhaul manual talk about several different carbs, some it is just a matter of removing the set screw and that it, others ,like mine, have a spring loaded needle. It looks like there is a special tool to remove it. Has anyone done this with this type of spring loaded metering needle, and any words of wisdom?<br>
