Currently rebuilding subject carburetor on my 1940-180. I noticed an approximately 1/4" thick spacer between the carburetor base and the intake manifold. This spacer, which I assume is to protect the fuel in the carburetor from over heating, is badly gouged. Have rebuilt many carburetors in the past but never come across this spacer before. Has anyone experience with removing this spacer? If not, where would be the best place to try and find a replacement?
