In my manual it says (packing) with two washers, aftermarket kit says two different washers=(washer) and (packing) and then on the website it says 3 washers= (2 packing and one washer). this is for the slow speed needle number 15 in the diagram. In my carb right before I took it apart I only had one washer and its the clear one in the picture. Which gaskets should I use for numbers 16 and 34 from the parts diagram? The 3 three pics I posted of each one individually are the ones from the parts diagram and the pic with 3 in the single pic is the ones I received in my carb kit. Which one should I use? Thank you

Make sure old packing is out.------------Install 2 packing washers and then the nylon washer.-------Nylon is used to prevent packing washers from being torn up.

Those packings were used for many,many years, on many different motors. Some used more than others. Bottom line is early motors did not use the nylon washer, which was added later to keep the packing nut from mooshing up the packings. Use the nylon washer even if not originally equipped.
