There is plenty of gas in the carb....I think that the choke is not opening enough when hot...if you floor it, the butterfly valves open up and she will start right up....it has the thicker cardboard gasket too....maybe I'm missing something somewhere?

The phenolic spacer would cause the choke rod to be too short and we would be back to no choke again...
