Does the pin go inside this hollow screw? With the pin or spring in first? Not sure if this pin belongs in this grouping as I dropped the spring yesterday, just put the screw and spring back in. Found the pin on the floor this morning so not sure it’s part of this assembly. The pin actually looks like the needle from a carb needle and seat. Green bible no help.

Yes, That is a needle from a carb. The spring pushes a ball against the shaft to make the switch click in position. You may have lost the ball. I have used a BB.
I am not sure where the seal goes. Maybe with the carb.

Thanks Pete, I used a mirror and the ball is still in there. That’s not a seal but a lock washer.

The needle is from a Carb. The lockwasher does go with the screw.
