Believe that the last kits that I got that may not have been sierra had some different needle packing parts. Namely the washers. I recall using 2 fiber washers in the carb first followed by a nylon packing washer.Packing nut would press on the nylon and seal the fiber in.

There are no nylon washers in the kit. There are two barbed-like metal washers that are cupped in the kit that look to be the same size as the fiber packing.. Is this what I should be using? The sierra kit is 18-7043 and any net pix with parts show these metal washers. Let me know if anyone can give some direction. Ah, the fun of picking out 55 year old packing............

Thanks.

No, not the metal ones. Use an extra fiber packing washer and you'll be ok.
