Default 83 mercury 25hp carb/please help!

I need help asap. I have cleaned the carb and am attempting to replace all gaskets but I have some in the kit that I do not see in the carb. I just got this engine and the guy told me the carb needed work and that he had tried cleaning it. He had used formagasket instead of the real thing so I am not sure where two orings go and I also think there is a needle valve missing. If you can help, please call Brian at 662-315-3623. I need to get this engine going by friday if possable. Thanks in advance. ------ Ok, I have looked again and again and I just don't see where they go. It is one o-ring about 1/4 inch diameter and one hard gasket just a touch larger. Can some one explain where they go? If not, please call. Also, how many needle valves are on it? I have only one but there is a hole beside it that looks like it should have one as well.

As most carb kits fit more than one model engine quite often there are extra gasket included so heres a link for your carb it the engine is a 83 to check out the gaskets. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show_...+ %2D+MERC+25
