Scott, I’m aware of OMC carbs and the nozzle / boss gasket, and pretty
sure I put one in. Seeing how my parts manual does not show one,
I’m wondering if I could have caused any kind of fuel restriction, and
if it would effect the low speed circuit, and "starting" of the motor.
I have a bunch of the fat O-rings from McMaster 1/2" OD, 1/4" ID, that
I bought for shift rod seals, that are too small. Maybe they would work
for boss gaskets.
Haven’t got around to the RDE this morning. Working on a shelf to store
outboard parts / junk and trying to get the boat and couple of motors
ready for my son and I to try out this afternoon!

Buc, here’s a pic of the gasket Ben is talking about. #59 in this catalog for a 1958 FD-12 (18hp). Hope you can make it out.

Prepare to be boarded!
