General: SU Carb Jet question

[redcar]

how're things lads?

its been a while since i posted or been here.. but i've been lurking...

on paddies day i decided to service the SU's and after changing the jets i found the front one to be leaking at the bowl.. when i tightened it down the bloody hose pulled out and then i was stuck with the union in the bowl, together with the rubber o-ring and washer.

when i got these three things out i noticed there is still a piece of rubber/plastic in the bottom of the threaded hole. is this supposed to be there, or is it leftovers from the old jet resulting in the inability to create a fuel tight seal?

anyone got enought SU carb knowledge to know if i need to leave this seal in or fish it out and replace (it's pretty stuffed now, btw) hopefully you can see it in the pics attached.. you might need to open the pic in a separate window to look right in there :P
