I took my ZS carb apart on Sunday trying to fix the running too rich and
never stay in adjustment problem.  Well, everything looks ok except for the
metering needle (I think).  The needle didn't look wore, and it also don't 
have any scratches on it.  The only prolbem I notice with it is that the
needle in pointed at an angle (~10-15 degrees) like so (slightly exaggerated 
for illustration purpose only);

                |   |   <---- needle base with spring inside
                |   |
                -----
                 /
                /  <----needle
               /
              /

Is this normal or the needle should be straight.  If it's not normal, is 
there a way to correct this problem or do I have to get a new needle.  
This problem seems to be caused by the spring inside the base.   Any 
suggestion or comments will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Dave

PS:Is there something wrong with the list, the last time I received a 
   message from the list was on Friday and have not gotten anything
   since.
