HONDA carburetor Gaskets
Question for Honda carb experts, I have this carb on a GX200 I am playing with and one thing that bugs me is the gasket between the carb and the choke plate. I took a picture of it. Overall, the fit is a little sloppy so I always try and tack it in place when installing but it is a bit of a bear when you have to put it up between the choke plate and the carb on the end of the studs.. But I digress. The picture shows a little hole that is covered half way by the gasket. When I spray carb cleaner in there it comes right back at me so I don't think it is a bowl vent. Does anyone know what it is and why the gasket covers half of it up? Does it look right to you? I checked and the gasket is the correct OEM part number on Honda parts site and I am orienting it the way it shows in the service manual.
Please see attached pic for details. There is an arrow pointing at the hole that is partially blocked.
Thanks! And forgive my speeling
