Six Pack Center Carb Help

Hey Guys! I need a little help. I was in the process of changing the accelerator pump diaphram on my center carb. I figured since I had it out I would go ahead and change the vent valve( I believe that is what it is called). It's a rubber piece that sits under the diaphram. When I pulled on it, It broke off and fell in the bowl. Go figure. I then had to take the bowl off to get it out. When I took the bowl off a plastic piece fell out and i did not see where it was located. I think I have it in the right place but but not sure. The part is not on the diagram that came with the kit. Could anyone shed some light on this for me? It would be appreciated. Thanks.

That is right

YES.....The little piece is called a vent baffle. It prevents (or reduces) the possibility of fuel "slosh" during hard acceleration or in the case of secondaries, during hard braking, from backing up the carbs vents and getting in the air stream, disturbing fuel mixture.
