    The items above are mislabled. The float body is the float itself (black plastic floaty thing).
    What is pictured above is the float needle seat and float needle seat washer.
    Some of the Hitachi carbs use a brass washer, while others had a dense fiber crush washer instead. Both types interchange without issue.

    Thought that's what I did, maybe it's because I'm doing it with my phone...

    Those are air compensator jets to help regulate fuel flow into the float bowl. They do come out for cleaning, but generally don't need to be removed.
