I am in no way an expert but I have been inside my carbs several times and this is the one peice that can really burn you. I put this peice in first. Because the plastic retaining ring rarly is tight enough to hold the unit in against the spring pressure, I gently hold down the peice with one hand and carefully slide the gasket into place. For me, this is how I worked it next. I found a thin peice of stiff metal, laid it accross the gasket and taped it down to the ouside of the body to hold eveything in place, making sude it wasn't in the way of anything. I then dropped the top of the carb on and went it fits into place, I slid the metal out. I'm sure people that do this all the time would have a better idea, but this works for me every time. Be very carefull with the thin brass rods. I was told that they are hard to find and expensive if you can.
