Stromberg Rebuild

I am rebuilding my Stromberg CD 150. The Royze rebuild kit came with a new brass jet. Where the jet meets the needle in the throat of the carb, the old one was chamfered but the new one is not. Does this matter? Also, the top of the jet is not flush with the floor of the carb throat. It is recessed a bit. If I removed the washer from the jet assembly, the jet could be screwed in a little more and it would be flush with the bottom of the throat. I don't see any specs for this in my shop manual, rebuild kit instructions, or Stromberg manual. Does any of this really matter? Before the rebuild the darned thing seemed to run the same no matter what I did to the carbs.

Thanks, Chris
