Carb. Needle 'O' Ring Fix.
A long time ago, long before Bing started selling a one cent 'O' ring for twenty bucks, I had a (still) better solution. Take the needle and the clip. Place a small dab of black RTV under the clip against the needle. Wipe it evenly around. The bead thickness should be about 1/8 max. Then place the needle/clip in the slide, assemble the top, spring and plastic thingy. Do not set it aside but directly into a carb with a needle jet and main jet installed. Allow it time to set, maybe a couple hours.
This will do a couple things. One, it will hold the needle from spinning/cutting into the clip. It will keep the needle from erasing the needle marking which lies partially inside the slide. It will also center the needle in the slide at all RPM/slide positions. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Just my fix
