Mr. Gasket 3406 Phenolic Thermal Insulating Carburetor Spacer?

$40 bucks shipped on Amazon, ordered. If it only 1/2 works on fixing my issue, I'd be happy. Best that I can tell there are any negatives.... Will report back on how it works out. If anything I need practice taking of the Carb ha!
Something you have to consider when installing a spacer under a carburetor that has a divorced choke.. The spacer moves the carburetor farther away from the choke bimetal spring.. You'll also have to have a longer actuator rod or you'll have problems getting the choke adjusted and operating properly...
