I would not worry about it, but that is not the rod, or part that is bent to adjust. However I will guarantee it was not pumping fuel. It is very rare that they work. There is two very small ports, and two very small balls with springs in the ports that become clogged very easy.
One is in the little cap with three screws, and the other is in the float bowel. To clean them you need to drill a very small hole in the little plastic plugs. Then use a No#2 wood screw with a little bit of the point filed off to remove the plugs. Do this by inserting the screw into the hole you drilled in the plug, and work it out. Be careful the balls, and springs are tiny.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
