    You are referring to item #28?

    What they refer to as a “bearing” is actually a seal.  This carb does not use the conventional packing and nut to seal the low speed needle, it uses this soft plastic sleeve to seal around the needle.

    The old one is probably still inside the carb, buried down by the mixing pocket.  I’m thinking if the old one is there, I would just leave it.  These things can be tough to fish out of there…
