Rebuilding carb. on 1960 40hp johnson. On the low speed needle just behind the packing is a sleeve. The needle threads through this. Well it suppose to be a pressed in fit according to my seloc manual. Mine just felll right out when I took the needle out. Is this sleeve still usable or will the packing nut tighten this up when put together?? Any thoughts

The packing should tighten that up just fine, when you reassemble it. I never heard of them being a pressed fit. I've seen them come right out, myself.:cool:
