Carburetor Gasket
When I pulled my carb there was one between the spacer and carb, but not intake and the spacer.
Shouldn't there be two gaskets? One between theintake manifold and carb spacer and a second between the spacer and the carb. Thanks.

Yeah, the paper gaskets don't take up any space and may fill in a lonely little space that was created at the factory so you may as well use them if you have them. They are generally not necessary though.
