The taper pins help to properly align the 2 halves of the crankcase.   When reassembling the crankcase, insert the two taper pins and tap both of them into place before tightening the crankcase bolts.   The smaller end of the taper pins are inserted from the front (carburetor) side of the case toward the back (cylinder) side of the case.    If you have not already opened up the crankcase, you would do the opposite – drive the pins out from the back side toward the front.
