This is a genuine manufacturer approved carburetor needle valve for lawn and garden equipment engines. The needle valve opens and closes to control the flow of fuel into the carburetor. It is made out of metal and it is sold individually. You would need a screwdriver and pliers to complete this repair.
Remove the float bowl. Then remove the pin from the float. Drill a little larger hole in the inlet seat then screw in a self tapping screw then pull inlet seat out. Tap in the new seat with a brass hammer. Then simply replace the float needle valve. Place the pin and float back in. Clean out the float bowl and attach it to the carburetor.
