Hi tiger, I got it out, I was attempting to drill it out but it was just spinning, then I was able to get it out. I turned up a Briggs needle that arrived this morning, that was fairly easy, and it worked well with starting and running but wouldn't seat fully because the needle has a brass tip. So now I'm in the process of fitting the Briggs seat in the primer cap so I should have an answer on that shortly if it works ok but I'm optomistic. At least the brass needle is heavy enough to drop down
