If you are asking if the jet is in the bottom of the bowl.....NO. This needle is connected to a float. As the engine burns fuel, the gas level in the bowl starts to go down. When the level get to a certain point, the needle starts to open and allows a little more gas from the gas tank to enter.

The "JET" is part of the carburator. Most carburators have 2 "jets".....a high speed and low speed. Low speed jet is usually set with a screw adjustment. The high speed jet feeds fuel to the engine as you increase the engine speed.

Squirt the carburator cleaner in every hole [the spray can should come with piece of tubing that can be stuck in the spray tip on the can] and look to see where it comes out. If it does not come out somewhere......it is plugged up. Get a very small wire and see if this will get it unplugged.
