Would you mind elaborating a little more?
You should be able to find a magnet on a flex shaft at about any auto parts shop, wal-mart or any other place that sells cheap hand tools. They are pretty common actually.

As for how to use it for carb needles. You ever played operation as a kid? Pull out the item without hitting the sides, ya know? Slide magnet through large opening in diaphragm to extract needle without any hitting the diaphragm. Although, they are not as fragile as you might think unless they are really old or haven't been in use for a long time.
