I took my carb off of my Troy-Bilt 2550 PSI 2.3 GPM 675190CC 6.75HP pressure washer and i just realize that theres not a gasket between the manifold (or the engine) and the carb. Im not sure if it is metal to metal and crew it together or get a gasket because some carbs come with the gaskets which might be newer ones or something. Also i did not see a gasket fall off when i took the carb of.
 
It is possible that it was forgotten when assembled at the factory… In all my years of working on equipment I’ve never seen a joint like that without a gasket. A local OPE shop should be able to get you one or worse case use a little bit of silicone. I don’t think I’d be comfortable without something. It’s likely to suck air and run a little lean.

Just my $0.02
 
It's probably stuck to one side or the other, or carb came loose and it disintegrated and pieces fell off. Either way yeah, if there's not a built in rubber gasket, it needs one added.
