The captured needles have a dowel pin or stem that the fulcrum arm holds or "captures." The fork keeps the fulcrum arm in contact with the needles at all times. The captured needles are usually used on carburetors that have the pump stack plates facing downward and primarily on 2-cycle engines.
Beware of aftermarket fuel inlet needles and seats. The poorly made needles are the number one problem after a recently rebuilt carburetor. The aftermarket kits usually do not seal very well. The poor seal is most noticeable at idle and low speed; the carburetor will be flooding fuel, especially from the high side circuit. Use a pop-off pressure gauge to check your pop-off pressure and ensure the needle and seat are not leaking.
Check your carburetor and carburetor listing for the correct inlet needle.
