Doesn't look much like a needle and seat, my first thought was power valve, don't know those particular carbies though. A power valve will be located in the bottom of the float chamber, has a light spring that holds it closed and it is operated by a plunger that is held away from the valve by vacuum, so at low vacuum, i.e. wide-open-throttle, the plunger is depressed by a spring, opens the valve and allows extra fuel flow. There will be a springt-loaded plunger or lever of some sort that rests on this when the top of the carby is fitted.
