The tiny o-ring usually stays stuck up in the carb body. Those 3 parts do not come in any kit that I know of and have to be purchased separately. Don't worry about them so long as they are all in correct order when assembled.

Shake the bowl. You should hear a distinct rattle. If not, more cleaning is required...
That rattle is the check for the accelerator pump nozzle- yes it needs to be free.
I just got a kit off Ebay with the new screw - spring, washer, and O-ring plus all the other stuff. Yes digging out the old O-ring and sometimes washer can be tricky. Paperclip made into a tiny hook in the end works.
FYI it's not my first time, but if anyone is not 100% sure where everything goes, those tiny parts in the bottom of an ultrasonic cleaner are important. Most rebuild kits don't come with instructions.
