Paul,
There should be a gasket where you didn't have one. the gasket is in fact the one that 95% lines up. I asked the question earlier today and haven't gotten a response. Anyone?

Unexpectedly got the afternoon off today and all of the Solex talk going
around inspired me to tackle my whistling Solex.
I think that I've found the air leak between the Starter body (part # 22 in
the green manual) and the Throttle chamber (part # 2). Is there supposed to
be a gasket between these two bits? There was no gasket there when I got
the vehicle. I have two Solex overhaul kits and both have a gasket that
*almost* fits... the screw holes are 95% lined up but there seems to be an
excess of other holes in the gasket. I know that there is an optional
heater element that fits in here and I thought it possible that this gasket
would be used for the element assembly (part #23).
Can anybody help out??
Thanks,
Paul Quin
