No but hard to seal after it's worn. If the butterfly flapper has been removed you have more options to seal it

It’s common for the bushing around that pin to wear and leak exhaust gas. That pin runs a flap contraption that helps your carb warm up faster. Some people try to replace the bushings. I think most take out the pin and replace it with bolts and weld it shut. Those of us that are unsure what to do, and don’t want to do something that permanent, use bolts with nuts and high temp sealant. That’s what I did. Works. When that pin and flap is removed your 40 will definitely take longer to warm up. In any event, you’ll need to take off the manifold to do anything about it. And you’ll need to buy a blocker plate from SOR that sits between the intake and exhaust manifolds. Not a complicated job but it’s a pain.

Top is off. Time to start on the headliner. What’s the best way to get the remnants of this off and prep?
Easy method, use the 3M Roloc Bristle Discs....or the elbow grease method, green scotchbrite pad and 3M adhesive remover.

Seeing them on yours and @Catching Neutral helped make my decision.
