Yes, thats the one we plugged - one that connects to the aluminum spacer.

Good to know. I've not bought the carb kit recently, but I looked at the picture and wondered what those rubber gaskets are for since I've not encountered any in my own carburetor. I don't know if its time to rebuild yet. I cleaned my carburetor every fall after the haul out and it does look pretty clean. I will do the tests that Tom has suggested to see whether there is a vacuum leak at the flange or the shaft.
