Help finding solution - Elite 50 Carb Insulator

I am helping out a neighbor by getting an Elite 50 up and running for her. While cleaning out the carb, i found that the carb insulator (16211-GAM-000) is broken, and no longer available from Honda. Any idea on what can be done to replace it other than pulling out my calipers and CAD-ing out a new one to get printed somewhere in a hard plastic? Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Did you notice that the part you referenced it out of stock? As I said, the part is no longer available from Honda (discontinued), and everyone I found who is reselling OEM parts (like Revzilla) is out of stock. I did my fair share of homework on Google before I posted this, and the OEM part does not seem to exist anywhere, which is why I made the post asking if anyone had ideas on a replacement part.

What year elite?

SE50 type one looks very similar, would need to cross ref and check. but if so, ebay options:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/384403504434?h ... Sw7PxhR-Cf
https://www.ebay.com/itm/383441055949?f ... SwlPFeTYzA


*, there's a good chance I have some spares laying around, if those don't work out. let me know.

In a pinch, you can absolutely 3D print that part. As long as material used is fuel safe, wouldn't be a problem. Alternatively, I would find the thickest gasket stock available and just cut out the shape needed. Would work equally fine.

cheers

I picked one of those up off ebay to see if that does the trick! Thanks!
