Default Help!!!!!

Guys, I took apart my cv carb from my 97 dyna and all was going well until this. I have a small brass looking insert that I have no idea where it goes. The exploded view does not show it. Any thoughts?

I think it goes on top of the plastic spring seat that holds down the needle and the diaphragm spring. Mine fell out when I took mine apart and I can't see that it does anything but I glued it back in and put it back together.
