The needle is hardened steel with a chrome or nickel plate, it won't get much wear, the brass needle jet is going to take most of the abuse .
I would suggest replacing the needle jets .

Thanks for all the help guys! I have made it a habit to order extra stuff every time I absolutely need a part. So two new valve covers and gaskets on the way haha!!
