Default KT-17 Series II, carb rebuild

So last night I went to rebuild my new to me 682 with the Walbro carb. I just did 1 last year with great success. There is a needle not sure what it is called that sits under the float that comes with the kit. The last 1 I did it was just the needle replace it an boom your done. This 1 the needle had a little wire that clipped over the float an attached to the needle on it. The rebuild kit did supply that an included a note that walbro had 2 different styles for that needle an to use it if that was the style you had. Well that wire went flying when I went to install it an I could not find that bugger any where.. So I just installed without it. Put everything back together an all works great. My question is will this be a problem or should I buy another kit just for that wire.

That little wire helps to pull the needle away from the seat in the event the needle sticks in the seat.
A lot of carbs never had it.
If it should give you a problem sometime, a little tap with a screwdriver handle solves the problem.
I would not buy another kit for just the clip, unless it becomes problematic.

Agree with George.

I will add, you will likely never have an issue with it because you have a fuel pump.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
