worn carb needles

[<tr3abobm77@verizon.net>]

My take on worn carb needles is that if they are indeed rubbing, the wear will 
be concentrated near the top where it will be when the engine is idling. This 
is also where it would be when you are adjusting the mixture. If you are trying 
to lean it out to compensate for the wear then from where the wear stops on 
down will, in effect, be too lean. Then you have hot running, burned valves, 
etc.
