Carter AFB accelerator pump needle removal

I got it out! Squirted a little more carb cleaner onto the needle before mowing the back yard. When I was done mowing, I came back to the carb, turned it upside down again, rapped it into my work bench 2-3 times, then when I turned the carb back over, the needle was sitting on the bench. Cleaned it up a bit, put the carb back together and into the car. Taking a break for a bit before trying to start it.
