Installing Needle Jets?

I've found several posts on this, yet still not clear on which end, narrowed end or open end goes in first into the main jet holder position. This picture, from jbfla, seems to clearly show the assembly and with the narrowed end 'down' towards the main jet holder. Maybe my fingers are shaky today but I can't get either end to insert enough to grab threads on the main jet holder.

I've ordered a second needle jet to replace the lost one, and strangely Hermy's carb schematic doesn't even show the main jet holder for an '02 Bonneville. Simply the main jet below the needle jet. But they had the needle jet correct so guess I shouldn't worry about the holder not being there.

So which way does this piece go in?

Thanks!!

Hey buddy

Are you talking about the nozzle? If so, the picture is correct. The convex end mates up with the concave. If I guessed wrong, then I'm not quite sure what you're asking. All the other parts can only go in 1 way.

Sorry, it's late here and I'm tired!

Just great Bron, many thanks! I'm clearly overthinking this but had to make sure. What in W. Pa. will you do for riding once the snow closes in? Oh, forgot, it's a great time to paint the inside of the house jk!
