Ahoy miniacs
Got myself into a bit of mischief, Im trying to swap the needle in my HIF44 carb and when i tried to pull the needle and its little holder out, it wouldnt budge. A bit of internet sleuthing led me down the path of grabbing needle in vice (between some wood to preserve it, but that didnt matter to me as this current one is stuff anyhow) and levering up the piston after a soak in some wd40. I gently levered and pop out came just the needle, now its hat & little holder still stuck in there :(
Any idea as to how to get it out , or failing that, anyone have a spare piston???

The following pic is what it should look like when it comes out

radical & thanks
