Oops Should've Left it Alone

I never had a problem out of this old Coleman stove till I had a bright idea to clean it's needle valve.

. What did I do? What can I do to fix it? Don't say retire it either me and this old stove got lots of past camping stories.

...oh yes - the ol clean the ol Coleman caper. Ever try to purchase parts for these things? Some how I can't get up a nerve to dump it - it still works and it still takes a whole heap of punishment. Though sigh the new stuff is s....o much easier to work with.
