Re: Carb cleaning
If they were sealing well I would just clean them up and reuse them.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Re: Carb cleaning
You polish the needle jet and its seat with rubbing compound and a cotton bud. The needle seat has an o ring that I have had to change many times as it gets hard and leaks. This mimics a leaking needle and seat.
