2150 Carb Rebuild question


Rebuilding a 2150 carb
Disassembled everything and noticed there is not a weight rod in it. And there is not one in the rebuild kit from Mike's Carbs. The rod that Inserts on top of the ball then screw goes in/over. Do some 2150 not have these? I have 2 spare and they both have rods. Here's a photo for reference.

I assumed it was required but didnt know. Carb looks to be rebuilt at some point and I cant recall where I got it. Just wanted to be sure it was needed and if so, if there were different sizes.

Rods are the same, only thing to watch out for in length is the accelerator pump diaphragm. There was a high tower and a short tower. Either way the kits should come with the short rod to replace the obsolete single high tower diaphragm. The short piece should also have a groove on one side of the shaft and the groove goes towards the pump arm.
