4160 Question

[Gaz64]

Yes, I thought that's what you would looking for.

That stick-on piece is used on manual choke carbs to seal a manifold vacuum source that is used for automatic choke models.
It comes as a sticky, to help assembly. You can make it yourself, out of a piece of gasket paper, and bond it with a smear of contact adhesive.
The clamping of the manual choke assembly mounting keeps it sealed.

Dang, I thought we were talking about the inside of the carb. I would have flunked that quiz.

Here's a decent shot of mine from the last time I rebuilt my 4160. BTW, I have the manual choke mostly removed and the butterfly zip tied in the full open position.

Perfect answer, I have a manual choke carb so that all makes sense. I'll make something and move on. Thanks to all for your input, much appreciated.

The absolute best, most productive, and wonderful modification you can make to your 4160 is to add a small adjustable set screw to the base of the secondaries (replacing the one that's already there) that will allow you to control your idle via that screw while leaving the primaries perfectly set in the transition slot. Here is a pic of mine and here is a lengthy thread where I help someone get his 4160 absolutely perfect.
