Default Carb float question

I was cleaning my carb (2000 DS 650) because it was not getting gas (Sat for a few years and gunk filled the inlet). I pulled the float and orifice piece and before thinking I gave it a blast of carb cleaner. I now have the main inlet body, the needle valve that goes into it (connects to the float) but I seem to have blasted loose a small O-ring and brass washer. Can anyone tell me how these pieces go back together or provide a link to the carb schematic?

Thanks in advance for your help

BTW I'm guessing on the names of these parts but hopefully the description is close enough.

Nick,
Thank you for the website that was a much better than the sites I had found. Looks as if the small o-ring and washer I was trying to determine their location are from the fuel and air mixture screw that sits on-top of the spring and not the needle valve...

Nick just wanted to say thank you again. Put the carb back together using the site you provided and the bike fired on the first try and is back to life.... Now time to post it for sale..... No reason to let it sit in the garage for another 2 years and have the gas turn to jelly.

-Cheers
