I'm rebuilding a 1978 John

I'm rebuilding a 1978 Johnson 15HP carburetor and have a question. The rebuild kit came with a needle valve retainer and bearing. I know where the retainer goes but can't figure out where the bearing goes. It looks like it goes in prior to the retainer but I don't want to force it down shaft for the needle valve because it seems to be a tad bit bigger than the hole. The bearing is a small white plastic part that is funnel shaped. Any help would be appreciated.
 
that small white plastic cone

that small white plastic cone is called a bearing. it goes on the low speed needle and is one of many parts of the OEM carb kit
