vm26ss - missing part - what is it?

I found that one of the float bowls is missing a part that the other three bowls contain, but this part is not shown in the images that I have seen.
(Note: this is not my bowl, just a random image)
What is this part for and how critical is it?
Thanks,
Alex

Would any harm come from running without this part on just that one carb?
Would it be noticeable?

That isn't my bowl, just an image I snagged for an example. Mine has the hole and right now it is wide open. There is no circlip and no brass part inside.
Would this cause issues if the passageway is wide open and un-restricted? I am now thinking that it may cause the one carb to leak and/or possibly affect the other carbs since they are all linked.
