I've always called them a metering rod, may be mistaken. I've found numerous ones out of a kit not adjusted properly.
Ok. I'm not installing a new carb kit. I'm going through and wanted to check to make sure the previous person installed it right. I always check them. I have found them where they were installed wrong from the factory.
Did you measure the bottom of the pan to the edge of the carb body to figure this out or did you just try it and it ran ok?Use the Walbro gauge 500-13. Put on the metering gasket on your WTE carb an then hold on the Walbro gauge using the tab where it is stamped WB and WLA on the other side. Adjust the inlet control lever that it just touches the tab of the stetting gauge, but that it does not open the inlet needle. This is also valid for the Walbro WTF carbs.

I don't have that carb on hand for measurement but the walbro tool tab looks taller than the depth of the pan so I figured I'd ask.A dealer/mechanic told me to do it like this.

I suppose @Tothemax can verify to settle my curiosity. Lol
