Curious should I have the washer between the spring and the clip as shown in the carb specs pic (#7)???

Certain way for plate to go back in? small overlap of holes in plate with two little openings?

The washer needs to be there, so the ends of the spring don't get tangled in the clip. The little round plate has a dimple that needs to be facing DOWN. Be sure not to touch the slide with your fingers, as it will make it stick later on. Pay attention to the little ear on the membrane. Make sure it gets in the notch on top of the carb when you reassemble.

What exactly is the purpose of the nipple? I'm thinking that the little holes in the plate are for air movement/vacuum for the slide and that the nipple is there to ensure a gap should the spacer spacer be completely removed.  But honestly I don't really know.  

Don't wipe the plastic slide with carb cleaner though.  That might scuff it up a little and invite friction then sticking.  I don't know if it helps or not but I put treadmill lubricating silicone on the plastic part and wiped it off.  That made it super slick.  It''s the stuff that goes between the rubber belt and the plastic support housing.  I also coated the inside where the slide moves and wiped it off as well.  I first tested it by putting some of the liquid silicone on some other similar plastic, doused it with gas, let it sit then checked for any gumming or problems.  None were found and it remained super slick. Again, don't know if it helps or not.
