Anybody got a picture of this "wire clip spring?"  The spring that is wrapped 
around the float shaft and anchored through a hole in the float frame is the 
one I'm referring to.  And your carb does need that spring.

I have been corrected.  If you are talking about the locking clip, as Mike
is, then I agree with Mike.  Shouldn't matter.

 Hey Chuck - He's not talking about that one. He's
refering to the locking clip that comes with many of
the current kits, to clip the needle to the float. I
never use them and have suffered no ill effects.
