You can remove the seat with a paper clip with a small hook on the end. and it won't damage the rubber seat. The needle will over time wear three grooves in the carb from the constant up and down movement. When this happens the needle will not seat correctly and cause carb to run over. A new carb is the fix.

Or some JB Weld on a Q-tip to fill in those low areas gently. Some carbs are NLA now. Have to get crafty and repair them. Little hand drill bit action to clean up the JB.
