Mmmm, I think I might know why I am missing the spacer…looks like the stud on one side is shorter than the other. It must not have fit with the spacer…..the plot thickens!

It does have the small rubber gasket on the head side of the carb, but I believe it's mated directly to the head without a spacer. Well, there's one thing I gotta correct.

Thanks!

Search 'AIR LEAK" and read volumes about the flanges and spacer blocks. One good way to tell if ya have an air leak is to get 'er good and warm then spray carb cleaner on the spacer. If you get a change in RPM ya got a leak. The old O rings get hard and flat over the years and don't seal properly sometimes. RW
