post a pic of this rubber plug. As for the baffle it helps deal with fuel (slosh sp?) shortages when riding hard

i will try,its small like the size of a pencil eraser,but black,and fits in either of the 2 "jet housings" behind the main jet,it fell out while i was doing my cleanout

Sounds like you're describing the tip of the float valve . I don't see anything else in this picture from ebay like what you're describing. The float valve is inside the top left gasket in the picture if it's not obvious
