Have you stripped the threads on the needle assembly? Not the needle itself but the housing where it attaches to the carb body...

Unscrew the needle housing and theck the threads on that and the carb.

If that seems ok then unscrew the needle from the brass housing completely, re-attach the housing to the carb (make sure it's quite tight without stripping the threads) and then carefully replace the needle and set it to factory settings.
