Hi everyone,
I pulled the carb off my scooter a few days ago and cleaned it (It's a horizontal 250cc btw). While I had the carb off I inspected the rubber inlet flange that connects the carb to the engine and found a spacer between the motor and the flange. The flange itself has a metal surface with a rubber oring that seals to the spacer and the spacer also has a rubber oring that seals to the engine. Though i have seen the spacer for sale online I can't find this spacer listed in any of the 250cc manuals I have and I'm wondering if this is normal or if the previous owner of my scooter put it on to try and stop an air leak. Any thoughts?
