Default carb rebuild

Hey guys, I hope someone can help with a carb fix on a "89 FXRS. I have the HD manual and all went well until I was replacing the idle mixture screw. It has a coil spring under the head but I wonder if there should also have an O-ring.
The manual doesn't show a breakdown of that particular part.
One other question-- is the plastic fuel inlet elbow on the carb replaceable? There is a small crack that seeps a wee bit.
Thanks for any info 650cooter
