Hi NormK,
So opened up the carburetor today and am thinking of replacing all the gaskets (they look shot to me). But not sure what to buy.

For starters there's this one between the air filter and the carb (has a metal piece in between).

Then there's (I think) a large heat shield between the carb and the engine. I dont think its supposed to be there.

There's another one behind that shield which kind of feels moulded on to the engine block (its not coming off easily). But there's a green bit behind it which tells me it might just be stuck on. I think I think I found that on EbayI found that on Ebay.

Found these 3 gaskets on Ebay for the GXV160 but that does not include the insulator 3 gaskets for GXV160

And lastly, there's this image from an age old manual that shows these parts, but I dont know how to find equivalents on Ebay.

And I was wondering if the GXV160 is the same as the GCV160, GX160 or the HRZ216 as far as carburetor gaskets are concerned?

I've attached the images for what I've described above.

Really appreciate any help or guidance. I've dived into a ton of manuals and sheets I could find for free online and
