That's the float needle. It's what stops fuel from overfilling the bowl. When the float rises to a certain level it uses this to close the inlet. If you blow out the carb, be careful. There is a seat that this needle seats in, that will blow out sometimes if you blow through the inlet that the fuel line hooks to.
