Groove side down. The groove side faces the carburetor body. The flat side faces the needle. You can use the flat side of a 3/16th drill bit to install the seat.

34 years of working on small engines . i know a little but not everything.

So everyone seems to say flat side to needle and circle groove towards carb body.

If that is the case, it is good I asked you all, the B&S online help rep said the opposite. LOL
