    Take needle ,install washer , install O ring all onto end of needle turn the carb upside down and install ( this keeps anything from slipping off as you install)

    no one mentioned the spring!,
    with the pointy end at the bottom, slide the spring on ,then the washer, then the "o" ring

    Then a dab of silicone grease smeared on the assembly to keep it all together while you drop it in the carb.

    MIXTURE SCREW, spring, washer, o-ring.

    there are no washers, o-rings on the needle jet. There is a BIG spring, but that goes inside the slide after the slide/needle ass’y is installed into the carb.
