When a tool is broken, the Managemylife web site is a good resource to find out what could be happening and what options are available. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties your having with your Carburetor replacement. I did some research for you at Managemylife.com and found an expert answer to a similar question that I hope will help until your expert can answer your specific question. I attached the link below.
Thank you for your question.
I have looked up the model number you have submitted. I do not see any changes in the carburetor or any spacers. The image below shows the parts break down. I put a box where the carburetor should be in the break down. There is a gasket between the intake and carburetor and one between carburetor and the air cleaner base. I hope this is helpful. If you need further assistance, please feel free to reply below with more details. Here is a link to order any parts you need. Sears Parts Direct . If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician. Here is a link for the website: Sears Home Services .
