The spring goes on the pilot jet, then the washer with the smoother edges towards the pointy part of the jet. The rubber O - ring goes on last.

The washer does two things.... keeps the oring flat and keeps the spring from chewing it up.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
