CARB NEEDLE WASHER LOCATION

Hi all, i am rebuilding the carbs on a 89 FZR1000,
And the PO had dissembled the carbs .
so i have replaced the jets, most of the o-ring seals and diaphragms.
and i have a small silver washer with each needle assembly.
my question is where does it go.
i assume it fits under the plastic needle collar at the bottom of the diaphragm assembly.
or above the plastic needle collar between that and the spring.

thanks i advance.
mark

If the silver clip isn't connected. It wants to be on the middle groove of the needle. Then you insert into the top of the diaphragm into the hole. Then the long spring goes in last then the diaphragm top goes on. Make sure the little O ring is in place before fitting the diaphragm top. I'll take some photos later to show what I mean so hang fire buddy.

This is a 1/2 groove setting on the needles, usually on a dynojet kit.
Goes between the nylon spacer and circlip.
