Bend the tab that contacts with the "needle". But DON'T put pressure on the needle when you do so. Carburetor rebuild instructions that come with the carb rebuild kit will tell you how to adjust everything and give optimum float level settings.

How do you take Rochester carburetor off of 94 Chevy 350 and clean it up?

Someone must have converted that vehicle from fuel injection back to a carburetor. Carburetors were phased out during the 1980's. If in fact the vehicle does have a carburetor you can purchase a rebuild kit for that carb. The carb has a part number stamped on it so a good auto parts store can use that number and get you the correct rebuild kit. The kit comes with instructions. Recommend purchasing a new fuel filter and float along with that kit.
