Default 1981 Carb rebuild, pic request.

I should have learnt when I did my 75 carb a few years ago. Just taking pictures doesnt mean that bubba hasnt been in before and either removed things or put things back in the wrong place......

Looking for pics of the seals and retainers that go on the accelerator pump and the TPS.
Neither of mine were staked in place or even had seals on them so thats how I started to put mine back together when I read that these seals must be installed with the lip facing upwards and the retainers staked in 3 places.

I have a few black seals and a couple of green ones as well as a couple of flat washers in the kit. Is the washer the retainer?
The black seals are a loose fit over the accelerator pump shaft whereas the green ones are a tight fit and would cause a bind.

From what pics I have, the black seals are for the choke lever assembly?
Is the purpose of the seal and retainer just to keep the TPS and pump in place within the carb body?
Anyone got any pics?

TIA.
